Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup finely diced shallot
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons white cooking wine
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Heat a medium sauce pan to medium high heat. Add butter, shallots and garlic. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next add in white cooking wine and stir, simmer for 1 minute.
- Then add in flour. Whisk the flour into the shallot butter mixture to create a roux. Let the roux continue to cook (will bubble) until it turns a light brown color and smells “nutty.” Be sure to whisk throughout this process so you don’t burn the roux. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly pour the bone broth into the roux, whisking the entire time. Let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Finish with fresh thyme, fresh sage, salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
Notes
Note: Turkey Drippings will add so much flavor so if you have them I would add about 4 tablespoons worth to this gravy for an extra boost of flavor!
