Preparation
STEP 1

Strain pan juices into a de-fatter or glass measuring cup. Allow fat to separate from juices.

STEP 2

Spoon 1/3 cup of fat (or butter) into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk to combine until mixture turns light brown.

STEP 3

Add wine and 2 cups stock and continue to whisk. Add remaining defatted pan drippings and continue to whisk.

STEP 4

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Options

Some variations include substituting the white wine with bourbon or brandy. You can add a ¼ cup of fresh apple cider for a little sweetness. You can add a ¼ cup of heavy cream for extra creaminess. You can add chopped cook giblets for meatier flavor and added texture. You can add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for a touch of acid.
