Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dry white wine | 1 1/2 cups |
| Onion | 1/2, chopped |
| Shallot | 1/2, minced |
| Mushroom | 1/2 cup, sliced |
| Chicken giblets | 7 |
| Water | As needed |
| Cornstarch | 8 tbsp |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by spooning off all but about 4 tablespoons of the fat in the roasting pan, ensuring you leave all the brown bits intact as they add flavor to the gravy.
-
Deglazing the Pan: Add the dry white wine (or some stock if not using wine), chopped onions, minced shallots, and sliced mushrooms to the roasting pan. Turn the heat to high, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan until most of the wine has evaporated, the onion is soft, and the bottom of the pan is clean.
-
Adding Stock: Pour in the chicken stock and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you are using giblets, add them during this cooking time for added depth of flavor.
-
Preparing Cornstarch Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry.
-
Thickening the Gravy: Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the cornstarch mixture. The gravy will start to thicken almost immediately. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix a bit more cornstarch with water and add it to the pan, then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Seasoning: Once the gravy has thickened to your liking, season it with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
-
Serving: Transfer the gravy to a serving dish or gravy boat and serve it alongside your roast turkey or any other poultry dish.
