Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, celery and thyme until vegetables are very soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in flour and cook until just beginning to brown, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.

  3. Gradually stir in 2 cups broth. Cook, stirring frequently with a whisk, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes, cool. Refrigerate gravy base and remaining 2 cups broth up to 2 days before serving.

  4. When turkey is finished roasting, remove from pan to let rest. Skim fat from pan drippings. Add turkey pan drippings to refrigerated gravy base in a medium saucepan, heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add reserved broth 1/4 cup at a time until desired thickness. Simmer until heated through and serve.

Recipe Yield

4 cups

Recipe Note

This handy gravy base can be prepared 2 days ahead, so it's ready to heat with turkey drippings or additional broth just 10 minutes before dinner is served.
