Ingredients

  • 4 cups (32 fluid ounces) unsalted turkey stock, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, remove from stem and finely chop
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, remove from stem and finely chop
  • 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) skim milk
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Directions

  1. 1

    Next, after you roast the turkey, place the roasting pan on the stove top over medium heat. Stir in 2 cups of turkey stock to the pan and stir about 5 minutes or until the drippings and browned bits from bottom dissolve.

  2. 2

    Arrange a strainer over a fat separator cup. Next, pour pan drippings through strainer.

  3. 3

    Stir in enough stock to the drippings to make 4 cups total. Next, if you don't have a fat separator cup, you can remove fat from drippings by add several ice cubes to the liquid and placing it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Take hardened fat with spoon and place stock into a saucepan. Next, you should still have about 4 cups of liquid.

  5. 5

    Arrange the saucepan on the stove top over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in sage and thyme to the simmering stock.

  6. 6

    Next, continue to simmer until the stock is reduced by 1/4, or until about 3 cups of stock remain. Next, pour milk into a small bowl.

  7. 7

    Stir in cornstarch and stir to mix evenly. Next, slowly pour milk mixture into the simmering stock, stirring slowly.

  8. 8

    Next, bring sauce to a boil and continue to stir until stock thickens and has a nice shine, about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, pour gravy into warmed gravy boat and serve.
