Gravy Turkey Beef Pork Ham Chicken Or Any Other Recipes

TURKEY GRAVY FROM PAN DRIPPINGS

Steps:

• Pour turkey drippings into a 1-quart measuring cup. Add chicken broth, if necessary, to reach to 2-cup fill line. Stir in butter and flour. Transfer to a saucepan.
• Cook over high heat until gravy is boiling and starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Whisk in browning sauce, bouillon, salt, and pepper.

TRADITIONAL GRAVY FOR ROAST BEEF, LAMB, PORK OR DUCK

Steps:

• First of all remove the meat or poultry from the roasting tin and have a bowl ready, then tilt the tin and you will see quite clearly the fat separating from the darker juices. So now you need to spoon off the fat into the bowl using a tablespoon, but remember, you need to leave 1-1½ tablespoons of fat in the tin. Then, using a wooden spoon, scrape the sides and base of the tin to release any crusty bits, which are very important for flavour. Next, place the tin over direct heat turned fairly low and, when the fat and juices begin to sizzle, add the flour, then quickly dive in with the wooden spoon using brisk circular movements. Speed is of the essence - gentle, faint-hearted stirring is not what's needed here: you should be mixing in the manner of a speeded-up film!
• Soon you will have a smooth paste, so now begin to add the hot stock, a little at a time, whisking briskly and blending after each addition. Now turn the heat up to medium and you will find that, as the stock is added and it reaches simmering point, the gravy will have thickened.
• Now your own preference comes into play. If the gravy is too thin, let it bubble and reduce a little; if it's too thick, add a little more liquid. Finally, taste and season with salt and freshly milled black pepper, then pour the gravy into a warmed jug ready for the table.
• For pork, which has pale juices, add onion to the roasting tin. This will caramelise during cooking and give colour to the juices. The onion may also be used with other joints and poultry to give colour.
• For lamb, add a teaspoon of mustard powder with the flour, a tablespoon of redcurrant jelly to melt into the gravy, and some red wine to add body.
• For duck, add the grated zest and juice of a small orange, along with a glass of port.
• For beef, add a wineglass of red wine or Madeira - this enriches the beef flavour magically.

NO-DRIPPINGS GRAVY

• In 1-quart heavy saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups of the broth, the bouillon granules and pepper over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bouillon granules are dissolved.
• In small bowl, stir remaining 1/2 cup broth and the flour, using wire whisk, until smooth. Gradually stir flour mixture into broth in saucepan. Heat to boiling. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in a few drops of browning sauce if a darker color is desired.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN GRAVY

GRAVY FOR BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN OR TURKEY

Steps:

• Variations: Add fresh sliced mushrooms, or onions, or hot pepper flakes, or any special spice to create a foreign flavor such as cummin or curry.
• This is a basic recipe to making gravy for any type of oven-roasted meat.
• In a small bowl, add water and flour, stirring to get out all lumps.
• Remove meat from the roasting pan leaving all the liquid and dried bits.
• On the stovetop, over a low heat, add water to pan drippings, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, dissolving all the flavors from the bottom of the pan.
• As the liquid thickens, add salt, pepper, and spices, including the gravy master.
• If gravy is too thick, add more water, a little at a time while stirring.
• Stop at the desired thickness.
• Remove from the heat.
• Pour gravy through a strainer to remove any lumps, debris that did not dissolve.
• Fill your favorite gravy boat and serve!
• *If gravy is too thin, add 1 teaspoons of flour at a time (again, diluted in 1/4 cup of cold water) until the desired thickness is achieved.
• Amount will depend on how much liquid is in your roasting pan after meat has cooked.
• By adding more water and adjusting the flavorings, you could s-t-r-e-t-c-h this recipe to accommodate the servings required, but be careful not to lose the richness of the meat flavor.

GRAVY (TURKEY, BEEF, PORK, HAM, CHICKEN OR ANY OTHER)

Steps:

• Take dripping in pan and add water, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Bring to a full boil.
• While it's cooking, mix your flour and cold water with a fork. Whip it till the lumps are gone.

GOOD MEAT OR CHICKEN GRAVY FROM DRIPPINGS

Steps:

• 1. After roasting remove your roast be it chicken, beef, ham, pork or turkey. Remove to a seperate plate or pan.
• 2. Add the two cups water to the drippings with a wire wisk stir the drippings up from the bottom of the pan. Season the mixture with a little salt, black pepper, garlic and onion powder. Note: If your meat was a baked ham then add only one cup of water and one cup of black coffee. This only if you are making a ham gravy. This is called Red Eye gravy. Put the pan on the heat and begin to heat the mixture.
• 3. To the heated mixture begin to sprinke your flour over the mixture and continue to stir with the wisk until it becomes the consistency of gravy. You may need to use a little more flour. Put your heat on medium and continue to stir until you have a nice gravy. You cannot use any other flour with this method other then the Gold Medal Wondra flour or a powdered flour made especially for gravies. If you do you will get lumps. If you want to add onions, or mushrooms saute in a seperate fry pan in a little oil your chopped onions and mushrooms then add to the gravy and simmer 10 minutes. If you have a lot of drippings you can add more water and more flour to make more then 2 cups of gravy. Of course you will have to adjust the seasonings. Most important make sure you cook your gravy a good ten minutes so the flour cooks good. Enjoy
