Gravy

Here it is. This is my gravy recipe and it is the most requested of my recipes. I get emails from around the world for this recipe. Pay attention to the note on how to do prep ahead of time to speed the process. Do not go fast with the onions.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 medium sized sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 c flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Defatted turkey drippings plus chicken stock to make 2 cups; heated (or jarred stock if needed). Be sure it is steaming hot.
  • 1 tb heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large (10 to 12-inch) pan, cook the butter and onions over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the onions brown. Take your time. See the note for making ahead of time.
  2. Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisk well, then add the salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add the hot chicken stock mixture, and cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened. Add cream. Season, to taste, and serve

Notes:

Notes: You can brown the onions the day before in the butter, then put them in a jar and put them in a fridge. Reheat in a skillet till bubbling on Thanksgiving Day before adding the flour.
