Ingredients

  • 3.5 Tbsp (49g) unsalted butter
  • 3.5 Tbsp (38g) all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cups store-bought or homemade turkey stock (See recipe)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 
  • Chopped fresh herbs, such as fresh thyme or sage (optional) 

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, to create a roux. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the flour.
  2. Slowly pour in the turkey stock, whisking to incorporate the stock into the roux until the stock begins to thicken into a gravy.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the herbs, if using, and stir to incorporate.
