Thanksgiving gravy

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in flour until no lumps remain. Cook for one minute.
  • Slowly add broth to pan, whisking continuously. Add poultry seasoning and pepper, whisking to incorporate. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until desired thickness is achieved.
  • Remove pan from heat and season with salt to taste.

Notes

  • Gravy can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, or frozen for up to 3 months. 
  • If frozen, transfer your gravy from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before serving to thaw.
  • Reheating gravy: Pour gravy into a saucepan and warm over medium heat. Whisk until warmed through. Add water as needed if gravy is too thick. 
  • Don't have poultry seasoning? Try adding a combination of thyme, rosemary, and sage instead. 
  • Chicken broth can be substituted with any type of broth you have on hand, like turkey, beef, pork, or vegetable broth.
  • How much gravy do you need per person? Plan to prepare between ⅓ to ½ cup of gravy per person, erring on the higher end for holidays like Thanksgiving.
  • If doubling or tripling this recipe, gravy will take longer to cook and thicken
