Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Enhance traditional Thanksgiving gravy by adding hard cider or white wine. Serve over Thyme-Roasted Turkey.

Ingredients

1 c. hard cider or dry white wine
2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
6 sprig thyme
kosher salt
Pepper

Instructions

Strain any pan drippings from your roasted turkey into a fat separator (or measuring cup). Let it stand for 5 minutes so the fat rises to the top. Leaving the fat behind (or spooning it off if not using a separator), pour the juices at the bottom into a large (4-cup) measuring cup.
Place the empty turkey roasting pan across two stove burners on medium-high heat. Add hard cider or dry white wine and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, for 1 minute.
Pour the cider mixture into the measuring cup with the pan juices and add enough low-sodium chicken broth to make 4 cups liquid total (you'll need 2 to 3 cups broth).
Melt unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the top and cook, whisking, until deep brown in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 4 cups liquid; bring to a boil.
Add thyme sprigs, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Strain just before serving.
