BEST GRAVY EVER

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

2 cups turkey stock [or a combination of turkey drippings and stock to make 2 cups]

1 teaspoon corn starch

2 teaspoons water

DIRECTIONS

1. In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Whisk in flour, then allow to cook for 2 minutes until the roux begins to brown. Whisk. Cook for another 2 minutes until brown. Whisk. Cook for a final 1 to 2 minutes until roux is dark brown and fragrant.

2. Add turkey stock one tablespoon at a time, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Once a 1/2 cup of turkey stock has been added, whisk in the rest of the stock, and then allow gravy to come to a full boil, about 3 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, add cornstarch and water. Mix with a spoon until smooth. Whisk cornstarch slurry into boiling gravy, and allow to cook for 1 minute until gravy has thickened.

4. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving dish. Serve.
