2. Slowly sprinkle flour on top of liquid, whisk briskly to avoid lumps.
3. Bring mixture to a boil once all the flour is incorporated, reduce heat to a simmer.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Hold on warm.
6. Strain liquid to remove any lumps prior to placing into gravy boat.

Notes: This is a large recipe that should be easily achieved when roasting a 12-14 pound turkey.  We use additional gravy for turkey or chicken pot pies.  You may want to cut the recipe in half for a smaller chicken dinner.

It is recommended to have a gravy strainer to remove any flour lumps and turkey/chicken pieces.
