Turkey Gravy for SLOW COOKER Turkey

Ingredients

• All juices from slow cooker
• Turkey or chicken broth/stock – for topping up (low sodium),
• 2 cups Broth for Gravy
• 50g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter OR skim fat off surface of slow cooker juices (Note 1)
• 1/4 cup flour, plain/all purpose
• 1/4 tsp dark soy sauce or store bought gravy colouring (Note 1)
• Salt and pepper

Steps

1. Strain all the juices from the slow cooker into a bowl. If you have less than 2 cups (500ml), top up with store bought broth (chicken or turkey). I have never had to do this.
2. If you have more, use all the slow cooker juices (just needs to reduce longer to thicken).
3. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
4. Slow add broth, stirring constantly. Mix until lump free – switch to whisk if required.
5. Simmer for a few minutes until it thickens to desired consistency.
6. Add dark soy sauce (or gravy darkener) to achieve desired colour without affecting taste. Start with the amount per ingredients, then add more if you want to darken.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Pour into jug and serve. TIP: Keep gravy warm in a thermos until required.
