Before beginning to carve that turkey on Thanksgiving dinner, one can also set aside just a few minutes in making that perfect Turkey Gravy. It only takes 5 easy steps to make a lot of it from the turkey’s pan drippings. Here’s how:

1. Pour the pan drippings into a large glass measuring cup. Also, scrape the browned turkey bits from the pan into the cup.

2. Skim and reserve the fat from the drippings. Pour 1/4 cup of the fat into a 2-quart saucepan, discarding any remaining fat.

3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Add enough reduced-sodium chicken broth to remaining drippings in the measuring cup to equal 2 cups.

4. Add the broth mixture to the flour mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Then, cook and stir for 1 minute more.

5. Strain the gravy into a serving dish. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. One can also add other spices to taste as an option.
