Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 c. turkey drippings
  • ½ stick butter unsalted
  • ¼ c. flour
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Using a sieve or a strainer of some sort, strain the turkey drippings. You will want to remove the majority of the solids while retaining the liquid.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add in flour and whisk until slightly browned. Add in thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Whisk until incorporated.
  • Whisk turkey drippings into the gravy in batches. Whisk for 2-3 minutes.
  • Once gravy comes to a boil, reduce heat and continue to whisk until gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with kosher salt and course black pepper to taste.
