Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups de-fatted turkey drippings (or chicken stock)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons apple juice, 1-2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

Instructions

  1. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring in salt and pepper. Cook for one minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually whisk in the turkey drippings until smooth.
  4. If using, stir in apple juice and sage for extra flavor.
  5. Simmer gently until thickened to desired consistency, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot alongside your favorite dishes.
