How do I fix lumpy gravy?

Whisk vigorously while heating. If lumps remain, press the gravy through a fine sieve. You can also blend it briefly with an immersion blender to smooth it.

Can I make The BEST Turkey Gravy without drippings?

Yes. Use good-quality chicken or turkey broth and brown a bit of butter with flour. Add a few teaspoons of soy sauce or Worcestershire for deeper flavor.

Why is my gravy too thin?

It needs longer simmering to reduce. You can also whisk in a small amount of flour mixed with cold water or a cornstarch slurry. Add thickener gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
