Poultry Gravy tips  Tom & Kari
Skim. Remove everything from the pan except the juices. (You may chop and
reserve the giblets, I just pitch them. Also, discard veggies.) Pour pan juice
into measuring cup; let stand until fat separates. Pour 14 cup fat back into
roasting pan set over two burners at medium heat; discard remaining fat.
Whisk in 1/4 cup flour, stirring.
Cook. Add enough liquid (cider, broth, wine or water) to the turkey juices
from earlier to total 3 cups. Then slowly add the juices into the flour
mixture, stirring vigorously to blend well. (Be sure to add juices slowly so you
don't end up with lumps.) Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Flavor. Bring gravy to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add reserved chopped
giblets, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. As desired, stir in
shopped fresh mild herbs or spices, like a touch of nutmeg or a sprinkling of
parsley. Serve immediately.
