1/3cuparrowroot starch(can substitute 1/2 cup flour)
4-5cupsrich turkey or chicken stock, low sodium(homemade or store bought)
Kosher salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add onions and celery with 1/4 teaspoo of salt and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually add the arrowroot starch or flour, stirring constantly, and cook until the flour starts to turn golden brown.
Whisk in the stock, one cup at a time, and continue to stir.
Cook until it has thickened to your liking and coats the back of a spoon. You want it thicker than a typical gravy, as you will be adding turkey drippings to it before serving which will thin it out.
Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed. You want it to be highly seasoned.
Store as is, or do as I do and blend in the pot with an immersion blender for a very smooth gravy.
To store: Let it cool, then cover and refrigerate for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
