Ingredients

• turkey drippings
• 3 - 3 1/2 cups chicken broth (divided)
• 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Pour the turkey drippings into a large 4-cup glass measuring cup. Remove most of the fat from the surface of the turkey drippings. (Leave as much of the turkey fat in the gravy as you desire.)
2. Add enough chicken broth to the turkey drippings to measure 3 cups. 
3. In a saucepot, whisk together 3/4 cup of the remaining chicken broth and flour until smooth. Slowly whisk in the turkey drippings and broth. (Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free gravy.)
4. Stir in any seasonings. (Season it up by adding 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning or just use salt and black pepper, to taste. You could also stir in fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, rosemary or chives.) Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Store the gravy in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat over low heat on the stovetop on in the microwave.
