Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s turkey gravy stands out because it uses pan drippings for maximum flavor, roasts the turkey neck for depth, and incorporates wine for extra richness. The result is a silky, well-balanced gravy with layers of savory goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pan drippings from roasted turkey
  • 1 turkey neck (or giblets)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups turkey or chicken stock
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Roast the turkey neck – In a pan, heat olive oil and brown the turkey neck over medium heat for 5 minutes until golden.
  2. Sauté the vegetables – Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  3. Deglaze with wine – Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half.
  4. Add stock and herbs – Stir in turkey stock, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes to develop flavor.
  5. Strain the broth – Remove the turkey neck and strain the liquid through a fine sieve. Discard solids.
  6. Make the roux – In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Incorporate the stock – Gradually whisk the strained stock into the roux. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring until thickened.
  8. Adjust seasoning – Add salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.
