Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup thinly sliced celery
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 (32 ounce) carton College Inn® Chicken Broth, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, celery and thyme until vegetables are very soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in flour and cook until just beginning to brown, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in 2 cups broth. Cook, stirring frequently with a whisk, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes; cool. Refrigerate gravy base and remaining 2 cups broth up to 2 days before serving.
  • When turkey is finished roasting, remove from pan to let rest. Skim fat from pan drippings. Add turkey pan drippings to refrigerated gravy base in a medium saucepan; heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add reserved broth 1/4 cup at a time until desired thickness. Simmer until heated through and serve.
