Thanksgiving Recipes: Gravy

Let's make gravy!

Recipe (yield 8-10 servings):

Reserved drippings from roasted turkey

1 32oz carton Kitchen Basics Turkey Stock

4-5 tablespoons cornstarch

salt and pepper to taste

In a medium pot, bring drippings (if you have refrigerated the drippings they will be congealed, but heat will liquify them) and 1/2 of your carton of turkey stock to a rapid boil. Place the 1/2 empty carton of turkey stock in the fridge. Allow drippings and stock to boil rapidly for a few minutes. P.S. This picture is not depicting a rapid boil. :)

Pull the carton of turkey stock from the fridge and pour it all in a small bowl. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch and whisk rapidly and thoroughly to combine- the mixture will look creamy.

Slowly add cornstarch mixture to boiling drippings while whisking. Allow gravy to come back to a rapid boil. The mixture will immediately begin to thicken. Allow to boil for a few minutes.

Check and see if the gravy is thick enough to your liking, if not, you can make more thickening by whisking another tablespoon or two of cornstarch into a 1/2 cup of cool water and slowly whisk this into the gravy. Allow to boil to thicken further. Salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!
