Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 8 ounces, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups turkey drippings or broth
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden brown.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and mushroom mixture. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly toasted.
Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings or broth, followed by the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the chopped fresh thyme, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the gravy.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the gravy to a serving dish and enjoy it warm over turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
