Easy Turkey Gravy Recipe

When cooking a large meal, such as Thanksgiving dinner, I try to find as many shortcuts as possible. One that works well and is just as delicious as starting from scratch, is turkey gravy made with a packaged dry seasoning mix.

I use turkey gravy mix and add chicken broth, dry white wine or dry vermouth, and finish it off with butter to enhance the flavors and give the gravy a homemade touch. Quick and easy is the way to go!

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

• 2 packages gravy mix (Knorrs Turkey Gravy Mix)
• 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 3 tbs dry white wine (or dry vermouth)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions:

Makes 2 ½ cups gravy

1. Remove turkey from roasting pan. Pour off all the fat, retaining all browned bits.
   
2. Set pan over medium heat and pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 2 packages of gravy mix.
   
3. Mix into a smooth paste and continue cooking for several minutes.
4. Season to taste with dry white wine and heat for several minutes.
   
5. Strain into gravy boat, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and serve with turkey.
   

Note: Gravy can be kept warm on simmer until ready to serve. If gravy becomes too thick add more broth. If gravy is too thin, add Wondra Flour to thicken.
