Gravy Fat Free-Foolproof

Foolproof Fat-Free Gravy

Makes 2 1/2 cups



2 cups turkey drippings
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp unbleached flour
1/2 cup skim milk

Defat the pan drippings by placing them in a fat separator cup. (If you don't have a separator cup, pour the drippings into a bowl, add a few ice cubes, and skim off the fat once it rises and hardens.) Combine the fat-free drippings, pepper, poultry seasoning, and bouillon granules in a 1 quart saucepan, and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. While the gravy is heating, combine the flour and milk in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake until smooth. Slowly add the milk mixture to the simmering broth, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy is thick and bubbly. Transfer the gravy to a warmed gravy boat or pitcher, and serve hot with the turkey.
