Directions:
I will give you the instructions for the Thanksgiving turkey gravy, but you can do the same for any kind of roast,etc.

After you take the bird out of the pan there should be at least an inch or two of liquid still left in it. I put the pan on the two burners on the right side because I am right handed. Turn burners on HIGH.

Take a whisk and stir constantly scraping the edges of the pan to get all the renderings – sprinkle in Wondra as you stir. Bring this to a boil. You can add broth to this if you feel you won’t have enough gravy. You must stir it constantly so that it doesn’t lump or stick to the pan. Once it starts to boil you can judge how much more Wondra to add by the consistency of the mixture. Let it boil and cook for at least 5 to 7 minutes – you want the flour to cook. Turn it down a bit once it starts to boil – you want just a nice rolling bubble going on.

Add your garlic power and salt and pepper to taste. I use a bit (like a teaspoon or two depending on how much gravy) of instant coffee just to darken the gravy.

After it is all cooked you can add sautéed mushrooms or the gizzards (these you have boiled and diced before hand ) if you want to.
