Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp / 60g) unsalted creamery butter cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup (32g) all-purpose flour for blond roux
  • 3 cups (720ml) rich turkey broth or poultry stock warmed, low-sodium
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
  • 3 leaves fresh sage leaves
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary sprig
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce halal-certified
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream optional, for velvety sheen

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan or saucier, melt the butter over medium heat until gently foaming.
  2. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the roux turns lightly golden-blonde and develops a nutty aroma.
  3. Gradually stream in the warm turkey broth in a slow, steady trickle while whisking vigorously to create a smooth, lump-free emulsion.
  4. Add the fresh herb sprigs (sage, thyme, rosemary), onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently along the bottom and sides for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and thickened.
  6. Remove from heat. Discard the herb stems. Stir in the heavy cream and season with sea salt to taste. Serve hot in a gravy boat!
