Ingredients

5-6 cup turkey drippings and/or broth
½ cup flour
½ cup butter
Salt and Pepper
1 teaspoon bouillon
1 teaspoon thyme or use one-two fresh sprigs
1 teaspoon oregano leave

Instructions

After roasting turkey, remove turkey from oven and allow to rest. This allows some of the juices to seep out, just what we want for our gravy!
Removed turkey from pan and skim off any fat. Set drippings aside to be used later.
in a skillet or large pan melt butter. When melted slowly whisk flour in until smooth. Let flour bubble for a one-two minutes on low heat.
Bring heat up to med-high heat and slowly add 4 cups drippings or broth while whisking continually. When gravy has thickened add remaining gravy to your desired consistency. (less drippings a thicker gravy, more drippings thinner gravy)
Add herbs and bring gravy to a simmer. Let simmer on low for about 30 minutes.Season with salt and pepper if needed. Don't remove from heat until you are ready to serve.

Notes

- How much liquid you start with will be the same amount of gravy you end with. If you don't have enough drippings, add chicken broth. - Start the liquid out at a lower heat while adding the flour, whisk in the flour and then increase to a boil. This will help prevent clumping. - Be sure to use any brown bits on the bottom of the roasting pan- they have so much flavor!
