Instructions
Drain the pan drippings for the roasted turkey through a fine strainer. Let sit and then remove any fat from the top of the drippings. Add in chicken broth or water to make 4 cups if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour over, whisking constantly about 3 minutes over low heat.
Slowly add in the 4 cups turkey broth/drippings; whisk constantly over medium-low heat until bubbly and thickened (about 3 minutes). Whisk in at least 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is best), plus more (lots of black pepper is delicious here!)
Use right away or keep warm over lowest heat setting, whisk again before serving.
Recipe Notes
While this gravy will be best made in time for Thanksgiving dinner and kept warm, if you want to make it a day ahead lay a piece of food wrap over the surface of the gravy in the refrigerator to stop a skin forming.
Don't skimp on cooking the flour down in the butter - if you don't do this properly you'll get a raw flour taste in your gravy - yuck!
