    Directions

      Procedure – Chardonnay Gravy:

      1. Skim the fat from the pan drippings, reserving 3 tablespoons for the roux. If short, make up the difference with butter.
      2. Place the roasting pan over 2 burners set on medium-high heat. Pour in the Chardonnay and scrape the bottom and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits.
      3. Simmer for 5 minutes to cook off the raw alcohol. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Strain and keep warm. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the reserved turkey fat. Whisk in the gluten-free flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until the roux smells toasty and turns light blond.
      4. Gradually whisk the warm pan liquid into the roux, a little at a time, to prevent lumps.
      5. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the gravy reaches velouté consistency and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
      6. Serve the Chardonnay gravy alongside the carved turkey.
