Description

This easy turkey gravy recipe, an Herb Brown Pan Sauce, is a rich and savory homemade gravy, perfect for enhancing any roast. It’s quick to prepare, family-friendly, and uses pan drippings and fresh herbs for deep flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) pan drippings, from roast turkey or chicken
  • 2–3 tablespoons (28-42g) unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 cups (480ml) chicken or turkey broth, low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage)
  • 1 small (about 0.25 cup) shallots or onion, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon onion powder)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Separate fat from pan drippings if necessary, then finely mince shallots and fresh herbs.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and cook until softened and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Make the Roux: Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until a light golden paste forms and smells slightly nutty.
  4. Gradually Whisk in Liquid: Slowly pour in 2 cups of broth and 1 cup of pan drippings, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Simmer and Season: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until it reaches desired consistency. Add fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
  6. Strain (Optional): For a silky-smooth gravy, pour through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids or herb bits.
  7. Serve Hot: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite dishes.

Notes

To avoid lumpy gravy, whisk continuously when adding liquid. Do not over-thicken, as gravy will thicken more as it cools. Always taste frequently and adjust seasonings for the best flavor.
