List of Ingredients




Vegetable Gravy/Puree

3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
2 large fresh parsley stems (1 cup)
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
Wing tips, giblets, and neck of turkey (but not the liver)
2 large carrots, cut into chunks
2 large stalks celery, cut into chunks
4-1/2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the bouquet garni, place thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and parsley stems
in the center of a double-thick, 8-inch square of 100-percent-cotton
cheesecloth. Bring the corners of the cheesecloth together and tie with
clean string.
Place the bouquet garni; onion; wing tips, giblets, and neck; carrot;
celery; and water in a large saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
Simmer, uncovered, very gently for 1-1/2 hours while the turkey is
roasting. Cool for 1 hour.
Remove wing tips, giblets, neck, and bouquet garni from the stock;
discard. Place the vegetables and cooled stock in a blender container or
food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until nearly smooth (you
should have about 2-3/4 cups).
The ideal time to prepare the gravy is while the turkey is standing
after being removed from the oven. Place the turkey on a cutting board,
preferably one with a ridge to collect the juices. Skim fat from drippings;
reserve 3 tablespoons of the fat in roasting pan. While the pan is still
hot, pour the pureed stock into the 3 tablespoons fat, scraping all the
bits and pieces off the roasting pan with a large wooden spoon or spatula.
Mix cornstarch with cold wine until dissolved. Add all at once to the
pureed mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and
bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes about 3 cups (14 servings).
