- Remove all but 2 tablespoons chicken drippings from skillet. Leave brown particles in skillet. Add flour. Stir on medium heat until browned. Add salt and pepper. Stir in milk.
- Bring to boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add a little more milk, if gravy is too thick, Serve hot, unstrained.

I had some leftover turkey meatballs that needed some gravy, and this was perfect. Since I didn't have chicken drippings, I used a combo of butter/olive oil and a little chicken bouillon powder. Worked great. The meatballs were full of spices, so I wanted a milder gravy and the pepper was just the right flavor.
