Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
Turkey drippings from bottom of roasting pan
1/4 cup flour
kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste
butter, if needed, if there isn't enough turnkey fat from drippings
Turkey or chicken stock, if needed
Directions:
Directions:
1. Pour the drippings into a fat separator to remove any solids. Wait about 10 minutes for the drippings to cool and the fat to separate from the rest of the drippings.

2. Measure out 1/4 cup of liquid from the top using a spoon to skim off, supplementing with butter, if needed.

3. Measure out 2 cups of the liquid from the bottom of the drippings, supplementing with chicken or turkey stock if needed.

4. Heat the fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Sprinkle the flour on top and use a whisk to stir together. Continue whisking constantly so it doesn't burn, allowing the flour/fat mixture to thicken. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until the texture resembles wet sand and it darkens in color just a bit.

6. Slowly pour in the two cups of drippings/stock, whisking constantly so there are no lumps. Continue whisking, bringing it to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer, stirring/whisking occasionaly, until thickened (about 5 minutes).

7. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe makes about 2 cups of gravy. You can double or tripe, etc. if necessary. Basic ratio is: for every 1 cup of drippings/stock, use 2 T of fat and 2 T of flour.
