  • Remove prepared turkey from roaster and transfer to a serving platter.
  • Carefully pour the pan drippings into a large measuring cup (scraping any browned bits into the cup).
  • Skim and reserve the fat from the drippings. to do this, simply tip the measuring cup slightly and spoon off the oily liquid or fat that rises to the top.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the fat into a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  • Add enough prepared HERB-OX® Bouillon to the remaining drippings in the measuring cup to equal 2 cups. Add all at once to the flour mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
