Chef Jamie's gravy is a tasty addition to the perfect turkey dinner.
|
Ingredients:
Juice from turkey roasting pan (discard giblets, etc.)
1 cup dry sherry (or cider, if you prefer)
1/2 cup flour
2 cups chicken or turkey broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
Optional: Herbs, bacon fat or whatever seasonings you prefer Preparation:
- Pour pan drippings juice into a glass. Fat will rise to top. Once fat has separated from juice, remove 1/4 cup of fat from top of bowl and pour into a separate saucepan.
- Pour remaining pan juices back into roasting pan, leaving fat behind. Over low heat, scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate all crunchy mixture into gravy.
- Add dry sherry or cider to roasting pan and stir. Let mixture simmer.
- Add flour to saucepan containing fat. Stir for a few minutes until a paste is formed (it's best to use a whisk to eliminate all lumps). This creates a roux, the French term for gravy.
- Pour roux into roasting pan, whisking constantly until gravy thickens. Add chicken or turkey broth, the cream and and whisk until gravy thickens.
