Cooking Directions

• Using heat gloves remove the turkey and roasting pan from the grill/smoker/oven

• Carefully remove the turkey and rest on the carving plate or platter

• In an 4-6 qt stock pot carefully pour in the turkey drippings and vegetables (if used)

• Add the turkey or chicken stock and bring to a boil

• Add 1ea sprig – Rosemary, Thyme and Sage

• Allow the herbs to remain in the gravy until they turn drab green or gray, then remove

• Taste and season the gravy as needed

• Thicken using a Slurry or Roux

  • Slurry (equal parts cornstarch and cold water) makes a thinner gravy

  • Roux (equal parts of butter and flour, cooked) makes a thicker gravy

• BE SURE TO ADD SMALL AMOUNTS OF THICKENER at a time

  • Then cook in the thickener

  • Adjust thickening as desired

• For lower sodium gravy, use low sodium stock

• Once gravy is at desired thickness, strain

• Save the vegetables for some amazing leftovers
