Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 8 cups Chicken or turkey stock
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is golden and smells slightly nutty.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey stock, one cup at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Once all the stock is incorporated, bring the mixture to a gentle boil while whisking occasionally. The gravy will begin to thicken as it heats.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in Worcestershire sauce for added depth of flavor.

Step 7

Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Serve the gravy warm, ladled into a serving dish or gravy boat. Enjoy it over mashed potatoes, turkey, or any dish of your choice!
