Servings : 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups pan drippings from Roast Turkey Breast
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

Instructions
- Take turkey drippings and loosened browned bits from roasting pan (where you cooked the turkey) and strain them through a mesh sieve.
- Discard solids and reserve 2-1/2 cups of pan drippings. If you do not have enough pan drippings, add low-sodium chicken broth to the drippings to make 2-1/2 cups liquid. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-heat.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, or until browned and starts to smell nutty.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of pan drippings and whisk until well incorporated.
- Slowly whisk in remaining pan drippings; continue to whisk and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer; whisk in chopped herbs and continue whisking until thickened and bubbly; about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and taste for salt and pepper; adjust as needed.
- Serve warm.
