Stuffing Thanksgiving turkey down people throats becoming hard? Well, we need to make sure we have the right amount of Turkey gravy to wash that bad boy down. Continuing our Thanksgiving dinner endeavor, let's take a look at another feast staple, turkey gravy. It can save a dry turkey breast taking it from dog food to delicious. It enhances your mashed potatoes. It can even make the unidentifiable casseroles palatable. You can tell Aunt Edna you truly LOVED her black bean, egg and eggplant goodness. I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Prep Step 1
Pour drippings through a wire strainer into a 1 quart glass measuring cup. Skim off the fat and set aside 1 cup of the drippings. An easy way to do that is to let the stuff cool for 5 minutes. The fat will rise to the top. Then you can plunge a baster (looks like a giant syringe) into the juice part, squeeze to capture the golden juices, then transfer them to the saucepan. Just toss the fat. Now when I'm saying drippings, this is another name for all the juices and "stuff" that are left in your oven bag after you cook the turkey. Plenty of things drip but these are the only juices you should be collecting. Write that down. - 3
Prep Step 2
Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan over a medium fire. Yes, that means turn the stove on now. -

Prep Step 3
Stir in flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Use a spoon. Ideally wooden. Do not use your hand. It will hurt. Let the mixture cook until it's lightly browned. You'll know when it's browned, because it will be a color that looks like....brown. That should take about 2 minutes. - 5
Prep Step 4
Stir in the drippings (turkey juices) and your broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat after boiling is achieved, whisking the entire time to keep it smooth. Check out the picture if you don't know what a whisk is. Get one. Then use it to stir fast. That is whisking. Enjoy.
