Good gravy makes all the difference on a thanksgiving plate. Put those extra turkey juices to good use by making a thick roux and throwing in mushrooms. Perfect on turkey, of course, but also on mashed potatoes, stuffing, and more.

ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, halved, sliced thin
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup fat from turkey, or use butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups turkey juices plus added chicken stock as needed
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until soft. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

In a large saucepan, heat the fat (or butter) until hot. Quickly stir in the flour and mix until smooth and blended. Let the mixture cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until bubbly.

Slowly whisk 2 cups of the stock into the flour mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy is smooth. Let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes. Thin the gravy as needed with additional stock.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the reserved mushrooms and onions and serve immediately.
