Creating this gravy is as easy as pie. Follow these steps:

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s bubbly and fragrant.
2. Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a golden brown. This roux is the foundation of your gravy.
3. Gradually add in the turkey stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring to a gentle boil.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in salt, pepper, thyme, sage, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the gravy simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. If you have turkey drippings, stir them in for an added depth of flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
6. Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool before transferring to storage containers.

From my experience, using a whisk during the entire process is key to achieving that smooth, silky texture we all love in a gravy. My abuela always said, “The secret is in the wrist!”
