Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1½ cups finely chopped yellow onion
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups turkey or chicken stock, heated
- 1 tablespoon Cognac or brandy (optional)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Make the Stock: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and adjust oven rack to lowest position. Place the turkey wings, celery, onion, and garlic in a large Dutch oven. Roast in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 2 hours. Remove pot from the oven.
- Add the water to the turkey and vegetables and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
- Strain the stock into a bowl with at least 1-quart capacity. (You can eat the turkey wings and discard the used vegetables.) Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Remove the accumulated fat on the top of the stock before using.
- Make the Gravy: In a 12-inch pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until you detect a nutty aroma. Gradually whisk in the defatted turkey stock and continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon), about 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm.
