Best Gravy Ever
Melted unsalted butter, if needed
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup bourbon
Meanwhile, pour drippings from roasting pan into heat-proof glass bowl or large measuring cup.
Let stand 5 minutes, then skim off and reserve clear yellow fat that has risen to top. Measure 3/4 cup fat, adding melted butter, if needed. Add enough turkey stock to skimmed drippings to make 8 cups total.
Place roasting pan on 2 stove burners over low heat and add turkey fat. Whisk in flour, scraping up browned bits on bottom of pan and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in turkey stock and bourbon. Cook, whisking often, until gravy has thickened and no trace of raw flour taste remains, about 5 minutes. Transfer gravy to warmed gravy boat.
