Directions

Transfer roasted turkey from roasting pan to a large cutting board; loosely cover with foil and let stand for
20 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add about ¼ cup broth to the roasting pan; scrape brown bits from bottom of roasting pan and add them to the drippings in the measuring cup.
Skim fat from drippings and place fat in a 1-cup glass measuring cup. If necessary, add enough melted butter to the fat drippings to make ¼ cup.
Pour the ¼ cup fat into a large skillet. Whisk in flour.
Add enough remaining broth to turkey drippings in measuring cup to make 2 cups. Add mixture all at once to flour mixture in skillet, whisking until smooth. Cook and whisk over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and whisk for 1 minute more.
Strain gravy though a fine-mesh sieve into a gravy boat or small serving pitcher to remove any lumps. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and desired fresh herbs.
