Plain Old Turkey Gravy

Ingredients:

2-3 cups of broth (from the bones of last Turkey frozen.)

Pan drippings from the Turkey, fat removed.

Roux - 4 tablespoons butter in which you have cooked 4 tablespoons flour (Simply cook in another frying pan until the roux turns a very light brown.)

¼ cup dry sherry (Kitchen Bouquet to desired color

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Add the broth to the skimmed drippings and reduce by one third. Remove from the heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Add the sherry and Kitchen Bouquet, just to the desired color. Salt and pepper to taste. If too thick, add a bit more broth and cook for a few moments.

Sautees mushrooms make a nice addition to this gravy. If you are still unhappy with your efforts, try adding some Maggi seasonings liquid, a fine product from Switzerland. It is most helpful.
