Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it's melted.
⅓ cup butter
In a separate pot, heat the stock until warm.
3 cups turkey stock
Sprinkle flour over the surface, then whisk to incorporate together and remove any lumps. This mixture is called a “roux”. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes so the flour begins to thicken.
5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
Once the stock is warm, slowly pour it into the roux, while whisking.
Lower the heat so the gravy is just simmering, then cook down until desired consistency, scraping the bottom periodically so it doesn’t scorch, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes
Turkey broth, chicken stock, or chicken broth can be used instead of turkey stock if needed.
