Ingredients
  • 600ml fresh turkey or chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 300 ml white wine

Method

1. To make the gravy really tasty it’s important to use the juices from the meat. Lift the cooked turkey on to a serving platter, cover and leave to rest in a warm place for the juices to settle and to ease carving.

2. Skim most of the fat from the cooking juices and then stir the flour into the pan’s residue.

3. Cook for a minute or so, stirring over a low heat until golden. Gradually pour in the wine and then stock, stirring all the time until smooth after each addition.

4. Bring to the boil, and let bubble for 2-3 minutes until it’s thickened, then add some seasoning to taste.
