Christmas Herb Mushroom Turkey Gravy

Ingredients

• 15 tbsp Olive oil
• 120 g Fresh mushrooms
• 30 cup Whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 360 ml Low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
• 2.5 tsp Fresh rosemary
• 2.5 tsp Fresh thyme
• 71 g Cooked, chopped turkey giblets or lean diced turkey

Instructions

1. Slice the mushrooms; finely chop the rosemary and thyme.
2. Pour olive oil into a skillet over medium-low heat, add the mushrooms, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
3. Push the mushrooms to the sides; in the center add flour, salt, and black pepper, and stir over low heat until the flour turns lightly golden and smells toasted.
4. Gradually add some of the broth in batches, stirring constantly until smooth and lump-free.
5. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your preferred thickness.
6. Before turning off the heat, add the rosemary, thyme, and either all the turkey giblets or all the diced lean turkey; stir to combine and let the residual heat release the aromas.
7. Heat for a few more minutes so the flavors meld; taste and adjust salt and black pepper as needed.
8. Refrigerate any leftover gravy within a couple of hours.
