Ingredients

Instructions

  • While roasting the turkey, add the neck and giblets to the roasting pan along with chicken broth to build flavor in the drippings.
  • After roasting, remove the turkey and set aside the pan drippings. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve and discard any solids.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns golden and smooth.
  • Gradually whisk in the strained turkey drippings and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Continue simmering for 7 to 10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and serve warm.
