Thanksgiving White Wine Gravy
Ingredients
- 1 Large Onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 4 Cups Turkey Giblet Stock Plus Additional for Thinning [see soup section for recipe]
- 1 and 1/2 Cup Dry White Wine
- Turkey Juices From Roaster
Method
- Once your turkey is cooked and removed from the roaster, skim the fat from the pan juices and reserve both the pan juices and the fat, separately.
- Deglaze the pan with the wine over moderately high heat. [To deglaze, as the liquid cooks, stir the bottom of the pan to get up all the browned scraps from the bottom] Boil Mixture until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Add 4 cups turkey stock and bring to a simmer.
- Pour mixture through a sieve into a sauce pan.
- Saute the onions in 1/4 cup of the reserved fat, in a heavy pan, until browned.
- Stir in flour and cook roux [combination of fat and flour] over medium low heat, whisking for 3 minutes.
- Bring wine mixture to a simmer.
- Add the hot wine mixture to the roux in a fast stream, whisking constantly.
- Simmer, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Thin to desired consistency with the reserved pan juices.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Family note
A great gravy for the turkey dinner. You could also make this for a roasted chicken, cutting the recipe in half.
