[@sohnemuller]

Love this recipe but where did you get the rue to thicken it and what is it consist of

[@LoungingwithLenny]

Thank you. I am glad you like it. Roux i made in the same video. I made it a little darker so turkey gravy get nice darker color and nutty taste.

[@DemocracyOfficer2485]

A roux is just butter, oil, and then add flour and mix the flour in slowly, cook the raw out of the flour and keep whisking it to prevent lumps or burning. It’s the base of any sauce to help thicken it and add body

[@dgoyk]

Interesting adding the roux into the stock, rather than the other way around. I didn’t know you could do that!

[@LoungingwithLenny]

This is how you thicken any gravy or sauces

[@dgoyk]

@@LoungingwithLenny I though you usually make the roux and then add the stock in after

[@LoungingwithLenny]

@@dgoyk there are some recipes that you can do it. But if it is gravy or sauce you need to thicken it at the end. You have more control when you do so.

[@carlitobunz]

You can do it either way, cold stock to hot roux or cold roux with hot stock.

[@jcheung7371]

​@LoungingwithLenny did that entire roux went into that pot of 8 cups liquid in the end?

[@andreatrepasburgess7551]

Is the solid compound flour you made at the beginning? You didn’t use the entire thing do you save the other part and how long can you store that for ?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

I used only the amount that i needed to thicken the sauce. The rest you can transfer in the container and keep in the fridge.

[@andreatrepasburgess7551]

@@LoungingwithLenny how long does it last refrigerated?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

@@andreatrepasburgess7551 in the air tight container in the refrigerator it can be stored up to 6 month.

[@waylandsworks]

You skipped steps. I am confused when did you use the rue and what did you do with the turkey broth? What was in the small dish you added to the boiling water? Was that the rue or the reduced stock or just the skimming?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

Add any drippings to the stock. After the stock is ready, strain it into the sauce pan. Bring it toba boil and thicken it with roux. Hope i replied to your question

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

what was the tan to brown teaspoons you put in at th 5 minute mark (two teaspoons)

[@LoungingwithLenny]

That is roux. Butter + flour

[@michaelking1570]

Thanks for the video. What is the yield for gravy?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

My pleasure. You should get about 1 quart

[@Paul-oh4fe]

Did you use all the roux in this recipe for the full 8 cups of stock? Looks like you only used about 1/4 the roux you made in the video.

[@LoungingwithLenny]

Yes i did use roux. Use the amount that you need to make the gravy thicker. The rest of roux you can put in the container and store it in the fridge

[@victoradam8685]

Thanks, best video I've found for making a real gravy instead when you don't have turkey fawn to use. Quick question, would using a turkey or chicken stock instead of water add anything, or is there a reason you prefer to use water?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

We need to make stock from turkey bones ( wings, necks, carcass ) you need only plain water. Let everything simmer and then thicken the stock with roux to make a gravy. Don't use no chicken or turkey stok

[@victoradam8685]

Heb? is that the name of some company?

[@nic1964]

@@LoungingwithLenny yes, it’s a supermarket and they sell packages called, turkey gravy mix.

[@LoungingwithLenny]

@@nic1964 got you. I don't really like to use mixes for sauce or gravy. I prefer to make it from scratch. You definitely won't achieve the same results.

[@agjihad5057]

What's the brown hard stuff you put in

[@LoungingwithLenny]

That is roux. It thickens the sauce. Recipe for roux. 1 table spoon butter + 1 table spoon all purpose flour. If you want to double it just add additional table spoon of each. Medium hean and cook it on a stove until golden brown color.

[@GrandNational66]

Please never take the video off.

[@MarcCaddoo]

If you make the gravy a day early what do you do with the actual turkey juice when it is cooked ?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

You can add it into the sauce. If the sauce will be too loose thicken it with a little roux

[@kylehastings2592]

Can this be made the day before and reheated?

Do you use unsalted butter or salted butter for the roux? I will be definitlely be using this recipe for this Thanksgiving because I'm smoking my turkey this year and I didn't know how to get gravy from it. I will have the backbone from the turkey also because I will be spatchcoking it.

[@LoungingwithLenny]

Unsalted butter only. Definitely use that backbone. 👍

[@jameslopez9710]

@@LoungingwithLenny I decided to make my roux tonight, so that it would be one less thing to do. It turned out a little lighter than your video. Is that ok? The consistency looks close, but not identical. I didn't have a cast iron skillet, so I didn't want to burn it. My frying pans are not the greatest. Since we don't need to add much of it, I think it will be ok. I am used to just using corn starch and water anyway, but making a rroux looked like a much better way. Thanks for your help.

[@LoungingwithLenny]

@jameslopez9710 it is ok if roux is a little light. If you'd thicken the gravy with roux, don't use cornstarch

[@cindydominick2605]

Dearest Lenny, what did you do with the fat that you skimmed from the broth?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

Hey Cindy. Just discard it.

[@iamlegend__11b68]

What’s that brown stuff he put in there

[@LoungingwithLenny]

You mean roux? It is flour and butter. You need to melt 2 table spoons of butter and add 3 table spoons of flour. Cook it for about 4 5 min. This is how to thicken stocks and sauces. The correct way.

[@chrismunoz1441]

If you can’t get turkey wings can you just use turkey necks? Or does it not work that way?

[@LoungingwithLenny]

That is a good question. I like to use both necks and wings. But you can try only necks.

I don't see how you can make a very flavorful gravy without turkey drippings. Can you talk about the intensity of the flavor of the gravy using dripping vs. not using drippings.

👌

[@opaulamorgan4265]

This gravy looks good, but doesn't look thick enough, could add a little more flour mixture. Agree,music is a little overpowering, also, slow down a little.

[@LoungingwithLenny]

You can definitely adjust the thickness by using a little more roux. This video i made like 2 years ago. Had a little less experience with editing. 🤫
