Our Perfect Gravy Will Make Your Turkey Taste 1,000 Times Better

Homemade gravy is quick and easy. If you’ve roasted chicken, turkey or beef, use the drippings left in the roasting pan. They make the gravy extra flavorful and seasoned. You can make gravy without drippings and use stock or broth in it’s place. Store-bought stock is usually under seasoned. Take care when seasoning with salt and pepper towards the end of the recipe. Finally, for more flavor, whisk in mushroom powder. This is optional, but adds a deep savory flavor.

Quick and Easy Gravy From Scratch

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

warm stock (poultry, beef or vegetable stock)

mushroom powder, optional

herbs

Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

I made your gravy with vegetable stock, but no half and half, and into coconut gravy with some coconut powder! Turned out phenomenal with the right amount of seasoning. I even added some diced mushroom to substitute the powder and it got some extra points in presentation. Love love loooove this gravy recipe for Loco Moco?

The best gravy I have ever made! And it’s super easy!! I didn’t have mushroom powder so I used garlic and onion powder and a little rosemary and my kids smoothered it on everything!!

I asked Google for a gravy recipe, this was the one she provided. It was quick and delicious. I didn't have rnouhh stock on hand so used bullion cube instead and topped with the stock and it worked great. Will definitely keep this recipe at the ready for future gravy making. ?

Thanks this recipe was super quick and easy and tasty

Glad you like gravy! Try a pinch of cinnamon twist in your gravy!  Uncontrollable fulfillment for the taste of classic thinking!

Made your onion gravy last night for dinner.  It was excellent and easy.  It really helped finished off my stuffed pork chops.  Thank you for the great recipe.  It's a keeper.

I forgot how good homemade gravy could be! Very yummy.

I made this, but used almond flour as a thickener instead of wheat flour. It worked perfectly, and was so delicious I may never go back to packaged gravy mix

Thank you for much needed easy gravy recipe. Excellent taste made my roast beef more delicious.

Easy Gravy

Grandma&#039;s southern tomato gravy is a breakfast staple. You&#039;ll love this savory, indulgent gravy spooned over fresh biscuits, cornbread or even grits or rice. 

Grandma's Southern Tomato Gravy

tomatoes

tbsp flour

tsp black pepper

tbsp bacon grease (or other meat drippings,

Pour the tomatoes into a medium sized skillet set over medium heat.

Let the tomatoes cook until hot, stirring occasionally.

Add the flour to the broth, and whisk vigorously until the two are completely incorporated and the mixture&#039;s smooth.

Pour in the flour/broth mixture, whisking constantly until it&#039;s incorporated completely. Don&#039;t skip this step! You don&#039;t want any lumps or odd bits of mini dumplings in your tomato gravy.

Stir in the bacon grease, and bring the tomato gravy to a full boil. Once it&#039;s reached a boil, immediately reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes- or until the gravy&#039;s thickened.

Season with the salt and pepper, taste and adjust if needed.

Serve the gravy hot, ladled over fresh biscuits.

Learn to make gravy to complement turkey, chicken, pork, or beef. Use this stovetop method for making a quick gravy with or without pan drippings.

How to Make Gravy (2-Ways!)

fat (from pan drippings)

roasting juices (from pan drippings)

kosher salt (as needed for seasoning)

black pepper (as needed for seasoning)

unsalted stock

Collect the Drippings - After cooking the roast, scrape the browned bits (fond) stuck to the bottom of the pan, using the juices to help dissolve the drippings. A small amount of water and heating the pan over low heat can help loosen the fond.

Separate the Fat - Pour the juices, fond, and fat drippings into a measuring cup or fat separator. Allow to sit and separate until the fat rises to the surface. Refrigerate or freeze to speed up the process. Reserve the fat. Measure out 1 cup of the juices. Use additional store-bought stock or broth if needed to reach the required volume.

Make a Roux - In a medium saute pan, add 2 tablespoons of the reserved fat, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Heat the pan over medium heat, whisk, and cook for 1 minute.

Thicken the Consistency - Turn the heat to medium-high. Gradually whisk the juices into the pan, cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes or longer for a thicker consistency. For a thinner sauce, add more juice or stock.

To Finish - Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste. For a smoother consistency, strain the sauce. Serve hot, and rewarm if needed.

Method #1) Gravy with Pan Drippings

Make a Roux -  In a medium saute pan, melt the butter. Add flour to the pan and whisk to combine, cook until the roux turns blonde in color, cook for about  1 minute.

Thicken the Consistency - Turn the heat up to medium-high. Gradually whisk the chicken stock into the pan, whisking continuously to break up any clumps of flour. Cook until the gravy is smooth and thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.  For a thinner sauce, add more stock.

To Finish - Turn off the heat and whisk in salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. For a smoother consistency, strain the sauce. Serve hot, and rewarm if needed.

Method #2) Gravy with No Pan Drippings

This Southern Egg Gravy is amazing for breakfast over biscuits or toast. Or try it for dinner over roasted turkey or chicken.

Southern Egg Gravy Recipe

Tbsp. bacon fat

Tbsp. flour

milk

eggs,

Warm the bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking often, until it just starts to get a little bit darker, a beige color, 3-4 minutes.

Slowly drizzle in the milk, whisking continuously to keep it smooth. Add the salt and pepper.

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened. If you&#8217;d like it thicker, cook and stir it for a few minutes extra so more liquid evaporates.

Add the eggs and stir for a minute to heat them through. Serve hot.

”Southern

Swedish Meatballs that are perfectly tender and spiced, served with creamy, savory, gravy. Comfort food at its best!

The Best Swedish Meatballs

white bread, no crusts

onion powder

garlic powder

beef (I use 85/15)

ground pork (you can also sub with another pound of ground beef instead)

brown sugar

butter (you can also use some drippings from the baked meatballs)

flour

beef broth (more as needed)

Worcestershire sauce (more

Very slight dash of nutmeg (optional)

Meatball Mixture

In a small bowl, soak the white bread in the heavy cream for 5-10 minutes. Mash with a spoon or you hands. Mix the bread paste in a large bowl with the garlic and onion powder, beef and pork, egg, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. When it&#8217;s all well-mixed, roll into smallish meatballs. (If you find the mixture is too wet to handle, you can add a bit of panko or a tablespoon of cornstarch to help them hold a bit more. But don&#8217;t panic &#8211; wet is normal for this mixture. It makes for very tender meatballs!)

In a small bowl, soak the white bread in the heavy cream for 5-10 minutes. Add the soaked bread and the onion and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for 10-15 seconds until mostly smooth. Mix the bread paste in a large bowl with the meat, egg, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. When it's all well-mixed, roll into smallish meatballs.

The Best Swedish Meatballs Step 1

Bake the Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place meatballs on a sheet pan or baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place meatballs in a casserole dish or baking dish with sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. (You can bake some or all — I often freeze half of the meatballs for later.)

The Best Swedish Meatballs Step 2

Gravy Time

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. (You&#8217;re going to add the meatballs back into this pan so make sure it&#8217;s a nice big skillet, saute pan, or braiser casserole dish.) Whisk in the flour; let it bubble for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef broth, slowly, stirring after each addition. Gradually a smooth gravy should start to form. Stir in the heavy cream and season with Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and a bit of nutmeg if you want. Taste and adjust to get it just right! That&#8217;s where the magic happens.

Gravy time! Drain off and reserve the grease from the meatball pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the grease to a small skillet (alternatively, you can use butter). Over medium heat, whisk in the flour; sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef broth, slowly, stirring after each addition. Gradually a smooth gravy should start to form. Stir in the heavy cream and season with Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and a bit of nutmeg if you want.

The Best Swedish Meatballs Step 3

Add meatballs in with the gravy. Cover to keep warm until you want to serve them, or transfer the pan to the oven where they can hang out on low / warm heat and continue to get tender and delicious. (The meatballs are already great on their own, but the longer they soak in sauce, the more tender and  delicious they get.) Serve over mashed potatoes, with a cucumber salad and lingonberries.

The Best Swedish Meatballs Step 4

This was so good. Can’t go wrong with Swedish meatballs,  my family devoured this meal.

It tastes so good because it’s healthy, right? ;)

I was wondering if you had a solution for a full large crock pot full of just the meat balls. I would like to make them for Christmas day.

I love Swedish meatballs, they are our families go-to quick comfort food, but this is because we use the frozen Ikea meatballs and I'd rather make them from scratch. It looks like the beef and pork is quite smooth, was it also put in the food processor?

Thank you, Eman!  I made the recipe above (the simpler one) and they were the best Swedish meatballs we've ever had!  I actually tripled the recipe, using six pounds of just beef.  They were WONDERFUL - these are not Fred Flintstone's Swedish meatballs - they are soft, tender little nuggets of joy!  And that gravy.  There really was the moment where I saw the sauce I was making turn into the smooth silkiness which is the delicious gravy.  Even found lingonberry preserves.  AND made the cucumber salad*.  Thank you for this amazing recipe.  

* In the link provided for the salad, it is necessary to sign up in order to get the directions.  I used the ingredients (very nice) and found directions elsewhere.  For salad, directions do not usually matter, but for Norwegian cucumber salad, they do.  Just thought a high quality website such as this would want to know :).

These were easy and very good! I used sour cream in the sauce, instead of heavy cream. My family said they prefer my typical Swedish meatballs more, but this was an easier version.

Made these for Christmas Eve dinner. They turned out very tasty. I ended up adding black pepper and red pepper flakes to the gravy to add a hint of heat. Thanks Lindsay!

I have been making this dish but there is a little difference between how to make your dish and how to make min.  i have felt <a href="https://prestigedecanters.com/blog/why-use-a-decanter-for-scotch/" rel="nofollow ugc">that</a> your way is good. I will also try to make this dish in the same way.

I love this recipie!and have it made if several times. I finally thought ahead to freeze half and was wondering if i cook from
Frozen or let the meatballs thaw first?

I made my own Swedish meatballs for the first time!!! And gosh it wasn't difficult at all! Thank you so much for the amazing recipe.

My husband and I loved these! These really are the perfect Swedish meatballs. The brown sugar and salt work together very nicely and the gravy with the addition of Worcestershire sauce  was wonderful. The acidity of the pickled cucumbers works so well with it all too. Looking forward to adding a little lingonberry jam to the mix next time! Thank you!!
