Make Ahead Turkey Gravy

Ingredients

  • 2 turkey wings (1-1/2 to 2 pounds)

  • 2 medium onions, quartered

  • 2 cartons (32 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

  • 2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 2 celery ribs with leaves, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs

  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Place turkey wings and onions in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 1-1/4 hours, turning once.

  2. Transfer wings and onions to a Dutch oven.

  3. While 13x9-in. pan is still warm, carefully add 2 cups broth. Using a spatula, gently scrape any brown bits off bottom of pan; pour into Dutch oven with wings.

  4. Add 4 cups broth, carrots, celery and thyme to Dutch oven.

  5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, about 45 minutes.

  6. Strain; discard wings and vegetables. (Can be made ahead to this point and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)

  7. Skim fat from cooking liquid. Add enough remaining broth to measure 3-1/2 cups.

  8. In a large saucepan, whisk flour and remaining broth until smooth. Gradually stir in cooking liquid.

  9. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in butter and pepper.

  10. Enjoy
