This white wine turkey gravy from Martha Stewart is delicious with any turkey on Thanksgiving, but I especially love it with the Roasted Turkey Breast with Bacon & Herbs. Wine adds depth of flavor and complexity, making this white wine turkey gravy anything but basic.
I make this gravy recipe every year at Thanksgiving, and any time I’m roasting a turkey breast or a chicken. It’s that good.
Pro tip: constantly whisk as you gradually add the flour in step 2 to ensure a silky smooth gravy. Enjoy!

White Wine Turkey Gravy
This easy gravy recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving. The addition of white wine adds dimension and depth to the gravy and it is delicious poured all over those mashed potatoes and stuffing.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dry White Wine
- 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Quart Chicken Stock
- Course Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
- While the turkey rests, place the roasting pan on the stove across two burners (if using a disposable pan, scrape drippings and browned bits into a medium saucepan). Heat drippings over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until syrupy, about 5-6 minutes. Gradually whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Gradually add 1 cup broth and cook, whisking until flour is a deep caramel color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually stir in remaining broth and 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until gravy reaches desired thickness, about 10-15 minutes. Strain gravy through a fine-mesh sieve and discard solids. Season generously with salt and pepper.
