Pour 1 cup juices from the measuring cup into flour mixture (roux); cook and stir, adding more drippings for a thinner gravy, until gravy is heated through and smooth, about 5 minutes. Mix chicken broth into gravy; cook and stir until heated through, adding more broth for a thinner gravy, about 5 minutes.

NIF'S EASY HOMESTYLE GRAVY

Steps:

• While the bird is roasting, put butter and flour in small saucepan and set on stove. It will likely melt on its own from the heat of the oven but if not, put on low for last few minutes of cooking bird until butter melts. Stir ocassionally to create a paste, called a "roux".
• Pour drippings/stock in large saucepan on stove. Be sure to tip the bird for more liquid and scrape little bits of solids off bottom of roasting pan. Give liquid a good whisk to break up solids.
• Bring liquids to a simmer (don't boil!) and slowly add the roux, whisking constantly. Only add a bit at a time and stop when the mixture thickens to desired consistency. It should at least coat the back of a spoon. I tend to add full amount.
• Stir in seasoning salt and pepper. If you choose to add wine, slowly add it in until it tastes good to you!
• Let gravy simmer and reduce while you carve up your bird. I wouldn't simmer more than 15-20 minutes.
• NOTE - Please be sure to taste your gravy. Add salt, pepper, wine or whatever you think it needs. Add slowly and taste often!

Gradually stir in milk so that no lumps form, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. If the gravy becomes too thick, you may thin it with a little more milk.

HOMESTYLE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roast celery, carrots, onion, garlic and turkey wings in a large oven proof pan for 1 1/4 hours. Add 2 cups broth and roast an additional 45 minutes. Transfer pan to the stovetop, add remaining broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until liquid is reduced to about 4 cups. Remove and reserve wing pieces, then strain and de-fat stock, discarding vegetables. When wings are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from them and chop.
• Combine milk and flour. Bring stock to a boil in the pan. Whisk in slurry and simmer 5 minutes. Add the chopped turkey and vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
