Turkey Juices

When the turkey has rested pick it up with two clean kitchen towels and pour out all the liquid into

the pan. Pour all the turkey juices in a large measuring cup or bowl and skim off the clear fat that rises

to the top. You are now ready to make gravy.

Roux

Melt the butter in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan, add the our and cook over low heat,

taking care not to burn for at least 6 minutes. It is important that the our is cooked through. Add the

giblet stock stirring with a whisk to avoid any lumping. Add the Jack Daniels and turkey juices. Season

to taste (i.e. salt & pepper & more JD if needed.) Keep warm until ready to serve!
