Down-Home Thanksgiving Turkey Gravy

This classic Turkey gravy has a slightly smoky/bacon flavor. Pan juices from a freshly Roasted Turkey add even more flavor.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 4  tablespoons onion powder
• 2  tablespoons black pepper
• 2 (32 ounce) cartons  trader joe's turkey broth or 2 (32 ounce) cartons  any  chicken stock
• 4  slices  fresh bacon
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a medium to large pot, cook the bacon till golden, remove and drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
2. On a low heat, using a whisk, whisk a small amount of flour into the drippings, then add in 4 oz of Turkey stock. Repeat whisking in flour and then stock, until the consistency of the gravy is the desired thickness, using up most of the flour and stock.
