Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter for a rich base
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy
  • 4 cups turkey stock can substitute with chicken stock
  • 0.5 cup Calvados adds a unique flavor
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground preferred
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until bubbly.
  • Whisk in the flour gradually, stirring constantly until smooth and golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in turkey stock while whisking to prevent lumps; bring to a simmer.
  • Add Calvados, salt, pepper, and thyme; simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

For added richness, consider drizzling a bit of cream on top before serving. Great for gravies served with turkey or roast.
