White Wine Gravy
Gravy is a rich sauce made from fat and juices that run off from the cooking process when roasting turkey. It is thickened with roux or cornstarch (I use a flour based roux) and flavored with wine and broth.

Ingredients
- Turkey pan drippings (or chicken drippings)
- 1 medium shallot, diced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white wine
- 1½ cups turkey or chicken broth
- Kosher salt, as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
Instructions
- While the turkey rests on a cutting board, strain the drippings through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl or fat separator. Let sit for 5 minutes. The fat will rise to the top.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, add ¼ cup (54g) of the turkey fat, reserving the remaining drippings. Heat the turkey fat then add the shallot and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Add the flour, whisking to combine. Continue to cook until the flour mixture turns a pale, golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the white wine followed by the stock and ¼ cup of the remaining pan drippings, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium low heat and simmer until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Notes
The pan drippings don’t have to be from turkey! This recipe works great with pan drippings from chicken as well.
