Gravy


This was my first time making gravy (since it was also my first time cooking a turkey) & it was SO easy & turned out really yummy! There's nothing like homemade mashed potatoes & gravy!



Gravy


drippings from turkey (I just did a bone-in turkey breast & cooked it in a Reynold's oven-bag)

2 Tbsp. flour

2 Tbsp. cornstarch

1 C. water

salt & pepper (to taste)



In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, & water. Pour turkey drippings into a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat & add in 1/2 of the water/flour/cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir over medium heat & gradually add more of the water mixture until you reach your desired consistency (I used all of it). Add in salt & pepper to taste. Serve warm over mashed potatoes & turkey.




*If you have a lot of drippings, you will probably want to double the recipe.
