We are frying our turkey, so we won't have the drippings, but I still want to have a gravy that is just as good. Any ideas?I need a recipe for a good gravy without the turkey drippings...?
Buy a good quality canned white gravy with pork sausage and an equal amount of canned turkey mushroom gravy. Mix them together and add just a slight dash of balsamic vinegar, a little half and half and some white pepper just before serving.I need a recipe for a good gravy without the turkey drippings...?
I would start with about half a stick of butter. Melt it in a thick pan. In a small jar, mix about 2 tablespoons with about 4 tablespoons of water and shake until smooth. Add this mix to the melted butter, just a little at a time, stirring with a whisk as you add, slowly. You should create a roux, sort of a paste that is the basis of all good gravies. Cook this until it turns golden brown (otherwise, your gravy will taste like raw flour). Add very small amounts of chicken broth, stirring constantly with the whisk, until you've added about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of broth - adjust the amount of broth to suit your desired texture. Cook over low heat until it thickens, then add whipping cream or half %26amp; half (about 1/2 cup or less) to give it a nice silky finish. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can do the same type of gravy to put over boiled onions, but in that case, you use a lot less broth and more cream.
2 cups chicken broth (i use chicken boullion cubes and 2 cups water)
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. butter
In a saucepan, whisk together flour and butter. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in chicken broth. Bring to boil and allow to thicken and then remove from heat.
Buy the dry packaged turkey gravy mix.
I kind of eye mine but I try to give you the correct measurements
I use a turkey base called ';better than bouillon'; you can find it by the regular bouillon in your grocery store it comes in a jar. Follow the directions on the jar to make the broth.
Then in a separate pan melt 1/2 cube of butter
when melted add 2 tablespoons of flour
Slowly add the broth to the flour mixture and bring to a boil let simmer until thicken. Season to taste
