Classic Turkey Gravy - Tips to Reduce the Fat
Lighten-up your Thanksgiving turkey gravy
For tasty gravy, with less fat, try this helpful tip from Cooking Light (November 2009).
Preparation:
Roast your turkey and let stand for 20 minutes.
Place a large zip-top plastic bag inside a 4-cup glass measure. Pour drippings through a fine sieve into bag; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a medium bowl, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat. Add additional broth to drippings to equal 3 cups. Combine 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Bring broth mixture to a boil; stir in cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve gravy with turkey.
