MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY RECIPE - NYT COOKING
You need gravy on Thanksgiving to aid the turkey, moisten the potatoes, douse the stuffing. But traditionally it's made at the last minute, after the turkey has been removed from the roasting pan. Here’s a secret: There's no need to make gravy right before serving. You can make it up to five days ahead. Then, as you reheat it, whisk in the turkey pan drippings for extra flavor. The result is every bit as good as last-minute gravy — and far less crazy-making.

  • 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.
