Follow straightforward tips for skimming fat, using pan juices, and making vegan or sweet variations, so your gravy matches every main dish and side.
Classic Turkey Pan Gravy With Pan Drippings
Rich, silky turkey gravy made from the pan drippings — the perfect finishing touch for your holiday bird.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup pan drippings strained from roasted turkey (fat + juices)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (if drippings are low on fat)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey stock, warmed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or extra stock (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make:
- After roasting, pour pan drippings through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl; let sit a few minutes so fat rises to the top.
- Skim and measure out 1/4 cup of the fat; add butter if you need more to reach 1/4 cup.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the fat (and butter) until shimmering.
- Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes to cook the raw flour taste and form a roux; it should be a light golden color.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup of warm stock, then add the wine or extra stock if using, whisking to a smooth consistency.
- Continue adding the remaining stock in a steady stream while whisking to prevent lumps.
- Bring to a gentle simmer; let cook 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your liking.
- Stir in thyme and Worcestershire sauce; taste and season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
- If too thick, whisk in a little more warm stock; if too thin, simmer a minute longer.
- Strain the gravy once more for an extra-smooth finish, if desired, and keep warm until serving.

How to Make:

- Slowly whisk in 2–3 cups of the reserved broth (and drippings if using) until smooth, then add wine or sherry if using. Bring to a gentle simmer to thicken.
- Stir in the chopped giblets, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, and sage. Add lemon juice or vinegar if using to brighten flavors.
- Taste and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. If too thick, whisk in more stock to reach a silky consistency.
