[quote=Anonymous]An easy recipe.

Equal parts butter and flour (2 or 3 TBSP each).  Melt butter, add flour and stir until it makes a thick paste (you might need to add a touch more flour).   Add in one packet of Golden Onion Soup mix (I usually get Lipton's Golden Onion, but you can use any onion soup mix in the recipe section).  Just don't get the Beefy Onion flavor as that will add a dark brown color and a little too strong flavor.  Then slowly add chicken broth.   If you use canned or store-bought chicken broth, then get a low sodium brand, so that it doesn't get too salty.  Add broth slowly stirring throughout.  I like a slightly stronger flavor, so I get Better Than Bouillon Chicken and add a TBSP of that. Add enough broth to get the consistency gravy you want (some like thicker and some like thinner).

If you want to use your turkey drippings and you don't have a fat separater, take a large funnel or sieve and line with paper towel.  Pour the pan dripping through that.  It will take out the little bits and pieces and filter out some of the fat.  Use the filtered pan drippings in place of the chicken broth above and it will give you much stronger flavor (you won't need to add the bouillon).  If you don't have enough drippings and you still want to thin it more, then add canned chicken broth.

It's pretty easy you can make this ahead of time, leave it in the pot and then reheat and add a little more water/broth as needed to get the right consistency.[/quote]
