Ingredients

• Turkey pan drippings
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• Vegetable oil, if needed
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 to 7 cups chicken broth
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Strain the turkey pan drippings into a fat separator or large liquid measuring cup; set aside. Place the empty turkey roasting pan across two burners over medium-high heat. Add the wine and scrape up at browned bits, then cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute; add to the drippings.

2. Spoon or pour off 1/2 cup of the fat from the drippings and return to the roasting pan over medium-high heat. (If you don’t have enough fat to make 1/2 cup, add vegetable oil.) Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Whisk in the defatted drippings and enough broth to make 8 cups total liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking often, until thickened, 15 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
