How to… make gravy for roast turkey

Don't save turkey just for Christmas - it's delicious all year round and can be cheaper than chicken. Here's how to make the all-important gravy for it

If using giblets, put them into a large saucepan, add a bay leaf and cover with hot stock. Simmer for 30 mins, then strain into a jug. Now skim away fat from top of roasting tin, and put tin onto hob. Mix a little flour with a little water till smooth, then tip into pan and stir well till all combined. Add a splash of red wine if you wish, turn heat up a little and let it bubble.
ow stir in the stock from giblets, or use hot water, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 mins. Strain through a sieve if you prefer and transfer to a gravy boat.
