Easy, easy turkey gravy


1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup plus 3 TBS flour
4 cups pan drippings (add chicken broth to pan drippings to equal 4 cups)




1. Drain the pan drippings from the roasted turkey through a fine strainer.
2. Let sit or refrigerate for a few minutes and then remove any fat from the top of the drippings.
3. Add in chicken broth to make 4 cups if necessary.
4. Melt butter in medium saucepan.
5. Add in 1/2 cup flour plus 3 tablespoons; constantly whisk for about 3 minutes.
6. Slowly add in the 4 cups turkey broth/drippings; whisk constantly over medium-low heat until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
7. Simmer over low heat another 3-4 minutes adding in salt and black pepper if needed.
