Step 1

Strain pan drippings through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids and reserve 2 1/2 cups pan drippings; set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and thyme until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in reserved pan drippings. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 5

Serve warm.

Chef’s notes

Pan drippings are key for flavor. If unavailable, use good quality stock.

Whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

Dried herbs can be used as substitutes, adjusting the quantity accordingly.

Gravy can be made without pan drippings by using stock and additional seasonings.
