Ingredients

2 Cups Drippings from a Cooked Turkey or Chicken Broth
¼ cup Unsalted Butter
2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Powder
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper

Instructions

If using turkey or chicken pan drippings, strain them through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids. Measure 2 cups total, adding chicken broth as needed.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the arrowroot powder and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly.
Gradually pour in the pan drippings or chicken broth while whisking continuously until smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes, whisking frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Serve warm over turkey, chicken, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

The gravy will continue to thicken slightly as it cools. If it becomes too thick, gently reheat it and whisk in additional broth or pan drippings until it reaches your desired consistency.

Tapioca flour or cornstarch can be substituted for the arrowroot powder, although the amount needed may vary slightly.

If using salted pan drippings or broth, taste the gravy before adding the full amount of salt.
