Easy Gravy for Thanksgiving or Anytime
Gravy is a quintessential part of the Thanksgiving feast, but there are no rules against adding such a wonderful flavor to your dishes year-round! My recipe doesn’t require drippings, and it comes with a full-bodied flavor.
The recipe is quite simple in terms of ingredients (especially without drippings)—it just requires fairly constant attention. Whisking continuously as liquid ingredients are added to make sure that everything combines evenly and doesn’t burn is the most important part.
Can Foolproof Gravy be frozen?
Definitely! It can last 3-4 months frozen, and that’s because it is flour-based. Dairy-based gravies will separate when frozen. It will be good in the refrigerator for a few days. Of course, gravy is always best served hot and fresh!
Can I make this ahead?
This gravy can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating
Gravy shouldn’t go into waste. If there is any leftover, it can be warmed. Pour gravy into a saucepan and warm over medium heat. Whisk well to help the gravy heat evenly until warmed through. Add water as needed if gravy is too thick – you may need to put in a little extra work to get the flour to loosen up.
What to serve with gravy?
Gravy goes great with mashed potatoes, beef, chicken, or turkey and can be rounded out with green beans, peas, or asparagus.
Gravy won’t thicken?
While adding more flour can be an option, I wouldn’t recommend doing that as the first option. Gravy requires time to thicken up, be patient, and continue cooking it till you reach the desired silky consistency.
Notes:
Add salt to taste at the end to avoid your gravy being too salty.
I used Chicken broth in this recipe; however, beef broth or vegetable broth can be used.
For best result, be sure to stir the gravy consistently to prevent it from browning too much. if too browned it will turn out bitter.
