Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped cooked giblets gizzard, liver, or hearts and/or chopped cooked turkey tidbits
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons turkey drippings or duck fat
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 32 fluid ounces turkey stock
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Drain out the roasting pan you cooked the turkey in of all the fat and add back in 4 tablespoons. If you don't have the roaster drippings (if you fried the turkey, grilled/smoked or something else) don't worry about that part, and just add 4 tbsp duck fat, butter or oil to a saucepan.
  • Add another 4 tablespoons butter to the pan with the flour, stirring to form a roux.
  • Cook until a blond color, then add in the salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. I make my own stock without salt, so you will need to taste your gravy later and adjust the salt accordingly.
  • Stir in 4 cups hot turkey stock and whisk, making sure you scrape the bottom with the whisk  to loosen up any fond (the delicious cooked on bits)- if you don't have that, maybe next time.
  • Keep stirring over low heat and add in the cooked turkey giblets/meat until it comes to a boil and thickens (should be around one minute after coming to a boil).
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the heavy cream.
  • Serve hot.
