Gravy is perishable, so it will only last 2 days in the refrigerator. Slowly whisk into your gravy a little bit at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir a little cornstarch (a couple teaspoons) into a small bowl of cold water until a thick paste forms. If you're whisking away at the stove and the gravy isn't taking on the texture you want, no fear. My gravy is too thin-how do I thicken it? Roughly chop once cool and stir into the gravy with the herbs. If you're not a fresh herbs person, you can totally use dried, or swap out the thyme and sage for the same amount of poultry seasoning, rosemary, or even Italian seasoning. Throw into your already-full oven alongside the turkey and stuffing until it caramelizes into sweet, tender cloves. Roasted garlic is a no-brainer and requires basically no effort: Simply lop off the top of a head of garlic, place in foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it up. You can discard the bits left in the colander.Īny other ingredients I can add for flavor? Pour the contents of the roasting pan through the colander - the drippings you want to keep will end up in the large bowl. After you take the turkey out of the roasting pan, set a colander or sieve over a large bowl or another pan. Those drippings are packed with flavor, all of which you want in your Thanksgiving gravy. Don’t - we repeat, don’t - pour that fat into the garbage. The essential ingredient to perfect gravy? Fat! As your turkey bakes, it renders a ton of fat that'll be leftover in the roasting pan. Without the flour, it will lack the coveted thickness and body. This creates a base for your sauce’s texture. Gravy starts off with a classic roux: equal parts fat (in this case butter) and flour are cooked in a skillet until it becomes golden and bubbly. But, we do have a gravy without drippings if you need it in a pinch. Since it's such a staple, we think that your Thanksgiving only deserves the very best, which is why perfecting gravy is worth it - and so easy!Īt its most basic, gravy is a thickened sauce made of meat drippings + stock + seasonings.
