Uncle Mike's Turkey Gravy
My Uncle Mike made this gravy from the drippings off Kelly's turkey (Good Eats Roast Turkey) at Thanksgiving this year. It was divine! Be aware that he is one of those "by taste" kind of cooks so you'll have to take this "recipe" as it was given. I was able to recreate it to some extent. It didn't taste as good as my uncle's but it was close.
Ingredients:
Broth from turkey
Dill
Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
Tabasco
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
water
2 Tbsp. sour cream
Directions:
Drain the broth from the turkey and let sit for a minute or two. Skim off most of the fat (not all of it). Add salt, pepper, dill, and small amounts of the chili powder and tabasco.
Boil this mixture for a while - approximately 15 minutes. This will bring out the flavor as the water evaporates.
Mix the cornstarch with water until it becomes smooth. Reduce heat to Low and whisk in the cornstarch/water mixture. Cook this until it thickens.
Once the gravy has reached the right consistancy, remove from heat and whisk in 2 heaping Tbsp. of sour cream until smooth.
