Happy Gravy Making

Good morning and happy holidays readers! I hope you are all having a fabulous time spending these special moments with loved ones. Since we are out of town, I`m not in the kitchen creating new dishes. In terms of cooking, the only thing I did was make the gravy for Sandra`s Turkey on Christmas Eve.

TURKEY GRAVY

1 cup of turkey juices from the roasting pan
2 cups of boiled water
1 tsp corn starch
1 tbsp flour
salt

1. Ladle out 1 cup of turkey juices from the roasting pan into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil.

2. Add the 2 cups of boiled water. Continue boiling.

3. In a small cup or bowl mix a bit of lukewarm water and corn starch. This is going to help the corn starch to mix well with the liquid without clumping and will make a smooth gravy.

4. Add the flour into the sauce pan and lower heat. Whisk continuously until flour is dissolved and gravy starts to thicken.

5. Last, pour in the corn starch and whisk together. The gravy should thicken up immediately. Taste for seasoning.

You can use this method to make gravy for any type of roast meat.
