I love brown gravy but also love the turkey gravy mom use to make at thanksgiving..I just loved it

I make gravy by using the pan drippings from the turkey or roast that was just cooked. First start with a rue of equal parts of flour and melted butter (usually 1 tablespoons for 1 cup of drippings). Mix them together well and cook on medium heat for approx 2 minutes. If you do not do that step you will be able to taste the flour in the finished gravy. Slowly add the pan drippings to the rue mixing well as you add the drippings to prevent lumps. If the gravy is too thick add a little water till you get the consistency you want.

I found this KFC recipe

KFC Gravy

1 1/2 tablespoons shortening, melted
3 tablespoons of Original Breading Flour
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 can Campbell's Condensed Chicken Stock
1 can water

First we are going to make a roux with the melted shortening and 1
1/2 tablespoon of breading flour. Cook this over low heat for 10 to
15 minutes or until the roux browns in color to resemble a nice milk
chocolate color. Once the mixture turns brown remove it from the heat
and add the remaining flour and slowly add the liquid(s) to
incorporate it so no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for
2 minutes reduce the heat and allow the mixture to thicken which
would take about 3 to 5 minutes.
*That is just the flour that you use to bread the chicken with.

I tried this one but I failed miserably. My gravy tasted like chicken stock. Haha! So, we just bought a commercial mix.
