Notes

I like to make my turkey gravy as soon as I take my turkey out of the oven while it's resting.
To separate the flavorful pan drippings from the fat, I use a fat separator.
Make sure to whisk your gravy as it cooks until it is smooth. If you don't whisk the gravy, you will get lumps in your gravy.
If you end up with any lumps in your gravy, simply pour it through a sieve before serving.
