Instructions

  1. 1 Separate oil from liquid in turkey drippings by pouring drippings into a clear 4-cup measuring cup; allow drippings to settle and separate into oil on top and juices on the bottom.
  2. 2 Transfer ¼ cup oil to a saucepan using a kitchen syringe or baster.
  3. 3 Stir flour into oil in the saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until color changes to a light brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Stir 1 cup juice from drippings in the measuring cup into flour mixture (roux); cook and stir, adding more drippings for a thinner gravy, until gravy is heated through and smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken broth into gravy; cook and stir until heated through, adding more broth for a thinner gravy, about 5 minutes.
