Ingredients
1eaDrippings from roasted turkey
1/2cupAll purpose flour
1eaSalt and pepper to taste
1eaGiblets from your turkey
Instructions
In a medium sized saucepan use some of the fat from your roasted turkey drippings to sear off the heart, liver, and gizzards of the turkey on medium heat.
Once the giblets are nicely seared remove them from the pan
Using the same pan, add the flour to the fat and stir until combined.
Slowly add the liquid from the cooked turkey to the flour mixture and whisk. You may need additional chicken or turkey stock to suppliment the drippings.
Add enough liquid to achieve desired gravy texture, and simmer. You may need to add more liquid as the gravy will thicken as the flour cooks out.
Once the gravy has simmered, remove the pot from heat and add the giblets back in. Blend with a hand blender until smooth.
