• 2 tablespoons chopped sage
• 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary
• 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
• 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
• Zest of 1 lemon
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Turkey:

• 1, 2-3-pound boneless, skin-on turkey breast
• ½ cup chicken or turkey stock
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Gravy:

• 1 tablespoon AP flour
• 1 cup chicken or turkey stock
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Turkey Gravy Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. Make the Compound Butter: Mix the butter, sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
3. Prepare the Turkey: Dry the turkey with paper towels. Season it with salt and pepper. Rub half of the compound butter under the skin and the rest on the outside of the turkey.
4. Roast the Turkey: Place the turkey on a wire rack in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Roast for 45-55 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices. Halfway through, pour the stock into the pan. Roast until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 68°C. Let the turkey rest.
5. Make the Gravy: Pour the pan drippings into a measuring cup and let it settle. Spoon off 15g of fat and heat it in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Slowly add the stock, stirring until smooth. Add the remaining pan juices and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve: Slice the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Recipe Tips:

• Baste the turkey often: Basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices ensures a golden, crispy skin.
• Let the turkey rest: Resting the turkey before slicing helps the juices stay inside, keeping the meat moist.
• Use fresh herbs: Fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme give the gravy a better, more vibrant flavor.
• Make the roux carefully: Let the flour cook for a minute before adding stock to avoid a raw flour taste.
• Adjust the gravy consistency: If the gravy thickens too much, add a little more stock or water while reheating to keep it smooth.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the leftover turkey gravy to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Once cooled, place the gravy in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the gravy in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally and add stock or water to thin it out if needed.
