Ingredients
1 cup Turkey drippings
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Directions
Carefully pour the turkey drippings through a fine-mesh strainer or slotted spoon to remove any solids, collecting the liquid in a small pot.
Add the cornstarch directly to the pot with the drippings and use a whisk to blend the mixture thoroughly, breaking up any clumps.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer while continuing to whisk frequently. Cook until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a pantry-staple gravy that demands nothing but what you already have on hand after roasting turkey. Cornstarch is available everywhere Charlotte shops, and the five-minute timer is honest—it's just whisking drippings and slurry over heat. It reheats beautifully and feeds four generously as a standard side, making it the kind of flexible, repeatable recipe that works year after year, not just at Thanksgiving.
