Ingredients

  • pan drippings from Classic Roast Turkey
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • reserved roasted vegetables from the roasting pan

Directions

  1. Strain the pan drippings into a fat separator or large measuring cup. Let stand for 10 minutes. Skim and discard the fat from the surface.
  2. Place the empty roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping to dissolve any bits stuck to the pan. Remove from heat and pour into a food processor, along with the pan juices and a third of the reserved roasted vegetables from the roasting pan. Purée until smooth and transfer to a medium pot. Working in batches, purée the broth and remaining vegetables and add them to the pot. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Reheat the gravy if necessary and serve.

Quick Tip

Simple Roast Chicken
Free-range birds have a more robust turkey flavor and substantial texture than coop-raised ones. They tend to be moist but not exceptionally so.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
