Elsa's Poulet Sauce

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • Leftover pan drippings from your turkey
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 3 cups store-bought chicken or turkey stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg yolk

Yields: 6 servings

Preparation

Place a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat with the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the flour to make a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes, until lightly golden in color.

While roux is cooking, place the roasting pan that you cooked your turkey in on a burner over medium-high heat. Once the pan gets hot, add the wine and scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the bits to the roux along with the stock and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step

When ready to serve, beat an egg yolk in a small bowl with a ladle of the sauce.

Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot of sauce. It will make a glossy, more stable gravy.
