If you often wish you had more gravy left after a holiday meal, this recipe is for you. A long-simmering broth and pan drippings contribute rich flavor to this abundant gravy that's not overly thick.
== Ingredients ==
* Neck and giblets reserved from turkey
* 4 cups water
* 1 celery rib with leaves, cut into pieces
* 1 onion, quartered
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon pepper
== Directions ==
# Combine 4 ingredients in a large saucepan.
# Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours, removing liver after 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
# Pour broth through a wire-mesh strainer into a bowl.
# Remove neck meat from bone; chop, and set aside.
# Chop remaining giblets, and set aside.
# Stir 3 1/2 cups broth into reserved turkey drippings in broiler pan that turkey roasted in, or in a large saucepan.
# Bring to a boil.
# Combine flour and 1/2 cup water, stirring until smooth; gradually whisk into boiling broth.
# Add salt and pepper.
