Ingredients

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large, smoked turkey wing or 2 small ones
1 medium onion, quartered
2 carrots, chopped
1 ribs celery, chopped
1 head garlic, split through the equator
4 stems fresh sage
4 sprigs fresh thyme
6 parsley stems
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Didn't look like the TV version
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Saw this recipe on the show and tried to recreate it. Really wasn't that thick and was much lighter in color than what was... on the show. Too much hassle for something that's basically chicken gravy (since the main ingredient is chicken stock). Not sure what the smoked turkey wing was supposed to add, but it couldn't have been much. Will go back to my family's traditional gravy - pan drippings with a little flour and some milk. Much easier, much tastier.Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this today for Thanksgiving dinner! My oldest daughter who is a very picky eater loved it. The flavor is wonderful. I... made it according to Tyler's recipe, but I used smoked turkey legs and parts instead. My family loved it. Thanks, Tyler!!!! Read more

Awesome Gravy... yummmmmm
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Gravy is not my forte at all and this recipe was super easy and delicious! I can't wait for Thanksgiving tomorrow to serve... it (but I've had a few bites of it tonight!) After reading other reviewers' comments, I spent some time looking at several of Tyler Florence's gravy recipes and watched one of the Food Network Videos and I modified the recipe a little: It is 5 tablespoons of olive oil. The first 3 are for the roasting of the vegetables and the other 2 are reserved for the roux to thicken the gravy. Here's what I did: Oven 400 degrees Heated the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in stock pot and added the wings, veg, garlic and herbs, and cooked for 5 minutes. Roasted in oven for 30 minutes. Removed from oven and added in 6 cups of chicken broth, brought to a slow boil, then simmered for about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. I checked the flavor at about 20 minutes and found it too smokey with the two medium wings, so I removed one and added some water. I peeled some of the meat off the wing I removed and added the turkey bone back in. Skim any fat while it's simmering Strain the solids and discard and then wipe out the pot. Put stock in freezer to separate fat from stock After about 20 minutes, skim off the fat and put back in freezer for about 10 minutes and continue to skim back the fat until it's gone (or almost gone). Put the pot back over medium heat and add the other 2 tablespoons of oil and the 2 tablespoons of butter and melt Add the flour (I used almost 1/4 cup to get it thicker) Cook the roux, stirring frequently, until it's golden brown or peanut butter color. Whisk in the strained and defatted stock and work out any lumps. Simmer for 15 minutes. I didn't need to add anymore salt or pepper. I think the smoked turkey legs gave it enough flavor. Thanks to everyone who had suggestions - I think I used them all!Read more

A new food group!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is by far the best gravy I have ever made. I couldn't find smoked turkey wings so I used a leg. It smells amazing... while it is in the oven. I made it the day before Thanksgiving so I had more oven roomin the oven and only had to heat it up on Thanksgiving day. I could eat it like a soup. Thanks Tyler!Read more

I loved it but I still had to add Better than Bouillon to get the hearty flavor we like
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved the garlic and herbs. This was the best I have ever made, but until I added the chicken Better than Boullion, it... wasn't perfect. Then it was. I will use this again.Read more
