HOW TO MAKE BROWN GRAVY FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• For the stock: Preheat the oven to 425 ̊. Toss the wings, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, thyme and rosemary on a baking sheet with the olive oil, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast until everything is a deep golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Put the wings, vegetables and any drippings from the pan in a large pot and add the wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is almost evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the stock is dark golden brown and the meat can easily be pulled off the bone, about 1 hour. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and set aside. For the gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until well combined. Cook, whisking frequently, until the roux is a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the stock until combined. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour your turkey drippings into a fat separator (or use a liquid measuring cup and spoon off the fat). Add the dark drippings to the gravy. Pour into a gravy boat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil. Place the turkey wings on the baking sheet and rub all over with oil.
• Roast the turkey wings on middle rack of oven until they are well browned, about 40 minutes.
• Check to see that wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
• Transfer turkey wings to a large saucepan or small Dutch oven. Pour off any fat that has accumulated on the baking sheet. Set on a heatproof surface (the stove or a work surface). Pour the wine onto the baking sheet and stir to loosen any browned bits.
• Add the broth, wine and browned bits from baking sheet, and rosemary to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and gently simmer until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine strainer into a large measuring cup. Discard the solids.
• Mince the garlic.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add the flour, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Whisk the turkey broth into saucepan and increase heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking occasionally, until gravy thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and season with the salt and pepper.
• At this point, the gravy can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw the gravy if necessary; then, bring it to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring, before serving.
