Prepare Turkey Wings: Place turkey wings, celery stalks (cut into pieces), onion (quartered), and carrots (cut into chunks) in a roasting pan.
-
Roast Turkey Wings: Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, stirring twice during cooking, until nicely browned.
-
Prepare Stock: Transfer the roasted turkey wings, celery, onion, and carrots into an 8-quart stockpot.
-
Simmer: Add water and any reserved turkey drippings to the stockpot. Simmer, partially covered, for 2 hours, skimming fat from the surface occasionally.
-
Strain Ingredients: Strain and reserve the carrots, onions, and celery from the broth.
-
Adjust Broth: Add more water if necessary to make 4 cups of broth.
-
Puree Vegetables: Puree the reserved carrots, onions, and celery. Add the puree back into the stockpot with the broth.
-
Thicken Gravy: In a small bowl, stir flour with a reserved 1/2 cup of broth until smooth. Whisk this mixture into the stockpot with salt and pepper.
-
Cook Until Thickened: Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the gravy is thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Final Touch: Strain the gravy once more to ensure smoothness, if desired, and then serve hot alongside your favorite dishes.
