Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup turkey pan drippings
  • 1 tbsp finely minced shallots
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups turkey stock
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the 1/4 cup of turkey pan drippings.
  2. Sauté the finely minced shallots for 1-2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until the mixture smells nutty and turns a light golden-brown color.
  4. Slowly pour in the turkey stock, approximately 1/4 cup at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the mixture transforms into a smooth, heavy cream consistency.
  5. Increase the heat slightly to bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in the kosher salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the gravy coats the back of a spoon.
