Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 8 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid.
Gradually whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is golden and smells slightly nutty.
Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey stock, one cup at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Once all the stock is incorporated, bring the mixture to a gentle boil while whisking occasionally. The gravy will begin to thicken as it heats.
Reduce the heat to low and season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in Worcestershire sauce for added depth of flavor.
Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the gravy warm, ladled into a serving dish or gravy boat. Enjoy it over mashed potatoes, turkey, or any dish of your choice!
