Ingredients

2 pounds turkey wings
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved
4 carrots, chopped
1 head garlic, smashed
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
8 black peppercorns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the turkey wings* into a small roasting pan and roast them until they are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, herbs, and peppercorns and cook for 5 minutes. Add the turkey wings. Pour some water into the roasting pan and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom; add this to the pot. Cover everything in the pot with cold

water by 1-inch and bring to the boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Strain out the solids and discard. Wipe out the pot and put it over medium heat. Melt the butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the flour. Cook this roux, stirring frequently, until it is golden brown. Slowly whisk in the strained stock being careful to work out any lumps. Cook until the gravy has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.

*Cook's note: Also add the backbone and neck from the turkey you are grilling.

worked out after all
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was a little late to find turkey wings in stock in the store so I used smoked turkey drumsticks (4 small ones). What a... great flavor. I hardly seasoned the final gravy at all. Thank you for this terrific recipe.Read more

Best ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This gravy is not only rich tasting, but the herbs give it a fresh aromatic quality. This is now our standard.

NEEDS A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

First, it takes about 60-90 minutes, not 30, to truly roast the wings to a "golden brown"...second, you must reduce by at... least 1/3-1/2, the strained liquid. (for more flavor -- it needed it -- i reduced 1.5 cups of cabernet sauvignon to about <1/2 cup and added it to the reducing strained liquid along with 1 tablespoon of pureed roasted garlic. Finally, i further reduced the final product by 1/3 to get the proper consistencyRead more

Finally! Gravy to go with fried turkey
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe and it came out great. I actually used more turkey wings and made extra stock to use with the stuffing.... It took longer than 30 minutes to roast the wings, but I did about three pounds, so that might have accounted for the difference (it took about 45-50 minutes). The stock came out great and the gravy was a hit. I did add a touch of browning sauce to darken it and add a little flavor.Read more
