Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  • Gradually whisk in the turkey stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Add the thyme and let the gravy simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the leftover turkey to the gravy, stirring to coat the turkey well. Cook until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.

Notes

This recipe is an excellent way to use up leftover turkey and can be adapted with additional vegetables or herbs as desired. Consider adding mushrooms, peas, or carrots for a twist.
