Transform your holiday table with a rich, flavorful twist on the classic turkey gravy. This Smoked Turkey and Chipotle Gravy combines the deep, savory flavors of smoked turkey with a hint of smoky heat from chipotle peppers. Perfect for drizzling over turkey and mashed potatoes, this gravy promises to be a delicious addition to any festive feast.

Ingredients

🦃 1 raw turkey neck
🦃 2 smoked turkey necks
🧅 1/4 of an onion
🧄 5-6 garlic cloves
🌶️ 1 dried chipotle pepper
🌿 1 bay leaf
🫚 2 teaspoons peppercorns
💧 4.5 cups of water
🌾 1/2 cup of flour
🧈 4 tablespoons of butter
🧂 Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1- Prepare the Stock:

Combine the raw turkey neck, smoked turkey necks, onion, garlic cloves, dried chipotle pepper, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a large pot. Add 4.5 cups of water, ensuring everything is submerged.
Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface with a spoon. Strain the stock into a separate container, discarding the solids. Reserve 4 cups of stock for the gravy.

2- Make the Gravy Base:

In a separate saucepan, add the flour over medium heat. Stir continuously with a whisk to gently toast it without letting it turn brown.
Once the flour is slightly toasted, add the butter. Mix well to form a smooth paste (roux).

3- Finish the Gravy:

Gradually pour the reserved turkey stock into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to whisk until the gravy is smooth and reaches the desired thickness.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4- Serve:

Once the gravy is smooth and flavorful, remove from heat. Serve it warm alongside your turkey and other dishes.
