So I bought a couple turkey legs prior to thanksgiving. Roasted them for a few hours and than took them, veggies/onions, broth etc. and simmered on stove and made some nice dark colored broth.
When the turkey came out of the oven, I mixed some "cold" chicken stock from a can with flour. I brought the homemade turkey broth I made to a boil and than slowly added the flour mixture. Let it cook for a little bit, added some butter, salt and pepper.
although I wish it was thicker, everyone loved it. My mother was so impressed with what I did. Said she always has problems with rushing gravy at the end, the juices from the pan being so greasy, who has time to try to get the grease/fat off.
Plus my turkey took longer than expected and my brother had to leave soon, so it really worked out to have a nice smooth gravy ready with no hassles. I did add a small cupful of the drippings from the pan to the gravy too.
