Notes
Making a roux: A roux is equal parts butter and flour. The trick to making a roux is cooking out the flour taste. Over medium-low heat, keep whisking the roux for 5 minutes until the roux gets a golden brown color.
Preventing Lumps: After the roux is made, you want to add the turkey stock in small amounts (1 cup at a time). After each addition, whisk quickly to remove any lumps. This will create a smooth gravy.
Make Ahead: If you want to make your gravy in advance, you can make it 2 days before Thanksgiving. Cool the turkey gravy down completely and place it in an airtight container. To reheat transfer to a small saucepan over low heat for 15 minutes. You may need to add a touch of stock or water to reach the right consistency.
