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

Best Gravy EVER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I prepared it early in the day, and heated it up for dinner. Mine was pretty thin, so I had to make a rioux 3 times and keep... adding it to the gravy till it thickened some. Absolutely delicious!!!Read more

delicious with a splash of cognac, chardonnay and cream...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A while back I prepared a remarkable chicken gravy from barefoot contessa that brightened up the dish with a subltle hinting... of white wine and a splash of congnac. So after perusing the the lengthily compiled set of suggestions here and looking at the ingredient list, I knew I wanted to take a few culinary liberties with Tyler's usually tasty recipes. Here's what I did. I used about 4-ish Tbsp of olive oil, 2 ribs of celery, closer to 3 Tbsp of flour as I thickened it up in the end to taste. The large smoked turkey wing imparted a bit of a strong flavor so I balanced it out with enough cream to taste (about 3 Tbsp). Since, even after the reducing and my addition of cream, my end result seemed a bit thin, I added the extra flour to the recipe - I encountered a few lumps in the gravy as a result so I strained it a second time to remove them. When I had the consistency I wanted, I seasoned it with salt and pepper. As a final step I added a cheap chardonnay (about 1-2 Tbsp to taste) and some cognac (about 1 Tbsp to taste)...bon appetit.Read more

My father followed this recipe for his Thanksgiving gravy this year. My dad is an amazing cook and has been making fabulous... gravy forever. But this year his gravy was over the top good and everyone was commenting on it, and he said he followed this recipe from Tyler. I highly recommend it!!!Read more

I'm going to try this recipe for sure! I was wondering about the 'cook time', it said 2 hours? Does it take that long?... It's not a problem at all, I'm just wondering?Read more

Too watery
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was hoping to save time by making this gravy ahead of time. I also went to Whole Foods to purchase my smoked turkey wing.... I kept waiting for the gravy to thicken but it wouldn't. For my second batch, I thought that I would add more flour. It didn't help. Is the recipe correct?Read more

Not Thanksgiving Gravy!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I've been making roasted turkey stock ahead for years to simplify the last minute prep for this tricky to stage meal. This... year after seeing Tyler make this one I decided to change it up a bit and try to make the actual gravy aheat and give the smoked turkey wings a go. Making gravy ahead is fine but not with this recipe. The smoked turkey meat is great but it just doesn't make good gravy. I got my wing from Whole Foods, so pretty sure the quality was good, but in addition to the smoky flavor it brought an unpleasant acidity to the gravy. Thankfully I had decided to use a blend of smoked and fresh wings , so with some additional drippings from the T-day bird and roasted giblets I was able to salvage it. The other issue with this gravy is that the amount of flour is not enough to thicken this amount of broth. Next year it's back to my standard stock!!! Read more
