Ingredients

¼ cup red wine or water
5 cups homemade or low sodium turkey or chicken stock
5 tbsp butter
½ cup flour
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Once your turkey is fully cooked tilt it so the juices drain into roasting pan, then transfer turkey to a platter, reserving the juices in the roasting pan. Let the turkey rest in a warm place loosely covered for 30 minutes.
Strain the juices into a container, then skim off and discard fat. If using a fat separator, strain the juices into the separator and let stand until fat rises to top and pour the juices from separator into a container.

Place the roasting pan on a burner over medium high heat, add wine or water and deglaze stirring and scraping up brown bits. When pan is nearly dry add a little stock. Strain into container with other juices.

Melt butter in a sauce pan and add flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes. Add deglazed juices and stock whisking continuously, then bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
