Ingredients
-
1/4 cup salted butter or bacon fat
-
1/4 cup quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra) or all-purpose flour
-
4 cups Rich Turkey Broth, warmed
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons (1 oz.) sherry, bourbon, or Madeira
-
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
-
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high until sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, whisking until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. (Flour will brown as it cooks, but if it starts to scorch, reduce heat as needed.) Add warm broth in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking often, until gravy comes to a simmer and thickens, 6 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool 30 minutes. Pour into a bowl or jar; cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
-
To serve, reheat gravy over low. Stir in cream, sherry, thyme, pepper, and salt.
