Ingredients

Pan drippings from roasted chicken/turkey (about 2 Tablespoons of liquid and bits in the pan)

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2-3 cups unsalted or low-sodium chicken broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs and dried bay leaves (optional)

Directions

After roasting your chicken or turkey, remove the meat from the roasting pan or baking dish and set aside. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium heat and add butter.

Melt the butter and use a wooden spoon or whisk to melt the butter and lift some of the drippings.

Sprinkle flour in the roasting pan and stir until the flour is incorporated. Continue stirring for about 1-2 minutes.

Slowly stir in the broth and continue stirring. Allow the broth to come to a simmer and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the stove and strain the gravy through a fine mesh strainer for a smooth gravy.
