Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 °F. Put wings in a single layer in roasting pan; scatter onions on top. Roast 1 1/4 hours or until wings are browned.

  2. Put wings and onions in 3-qt saucepan. Add water to roasting pan; stir to scrape up any brown bits on bottom. Add to saucepan. Add 6 cups broth (refrigerate remaining 2 cups), the carrot and thyme. Simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours.

  3. Remove wings. When cool, pull off skin and meat. Discard skin; save meat for another use. Strain broth into saucepan; skim fat off broth.

  4. Whisk flour into remaining 2 cups broth until mixture is well blended and smooth.

  5. Bring broth in saucepan to a gentle boil. Whisk in flour mixture; boil 5 minutes to thicken gravy. Stir in butter and pepper.

  6. Freeze gravy up to 1 month. Reheat. You can add fat-skimmed drippings from a freshly roasted turkey.
