After you roast your holiday turkey, there's always the need to make a good sauce or gravy. Here’s the easiest way to make a delicious gravy without even soiling another pot.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Roasting pan with drippings after removing the turkey as described in "How to Easily Roast the Perfect Holiday Turkey"
• Turkey stock
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• Pepper grinder
• Whisk

1. Place roasting pan across two stove eyes and set the heat to medium low in both of them.

2. Add stock if drippings are not at least ½ inch deep uniformly across the bottom of the pan.

3. Sprinkle in the flour and bring to a boil, whisking rapidly to prevent sticking and to stir the mixture so that it is smooth and homogenized.

4. Before the mixture reaches the desired thickness, generously grind fresh pepper, then stir in briskly. Taste then salt and pepper as needed, then stir more.

5. Remove from heat once the gravy is thickened and pour into a gravy dish. Serve immediately.

Tips & Warnings

• If the gravy thickens too quickly or becomes thicker than desired, add stock a little at a time, stirring vigorously.
