Instructions
- 1 Gather all ingredients.
- 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 3 Arrange turkey wings in a single layer in a large roasting pan; scatter onions over top.
- 4 Roast in the preheated oven until wings are browned, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- 5 Transfer wings and onions to a 5-quart stockpot.
- 6 Add water to the roasting pan and stir, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- 7 Pour water and pan scrapings into the stockpot.
- 8 Stir in 6 cups chicken broth, carrots, and thyme. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- 9 Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 ½ hours.
- 10 Transfer wings to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle. Pull off skin and meat. Discard skin and reserve meat for another use.
- 11 Pour contents of the stockpot through a large strainer into a 3-quart saucepan. Press on vegetables in the strainer to extract any remaining liquid; discard vegetables.
- 12 Skim and discard fat from the turkey broth, then bring to a gentle boil.
- 13 Whisk flour into the remaining 2 cups chicken broth in a bowl until smooth.
- 14 Gradually whisk flour mixture into the simmering turkey broth. Simmer, whisking occasionally, until gravy has thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter and pepper.
- 15 Serve immediately, or cool and store in airtight containers. Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
