Cider-Sage Gravy

Directions

1. 1
   Add the sage leaves to the roasting pan with the drippings from roasting the turkey. (If you have at least 6 tablespoons of drippings, you can double the recipe.).
2. 2
   Place the pan over medium heat and allow the sage to infuse the fat and heat until the leaves start to stick to the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes.
3. 3
   Deglaze the pan by slowly adding the apple cider, stirring to scrape up the brown bits. Simmer for 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Whisk together the flour and chicken stock in a separate container until smooth.
5. 5
   Slowly pour the stock/flour mixture into the pan and stir continuously until it reaches the desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the sage leaves and add salt and pepper to taste.
6. 6
   Remove from heat and pour into a gravy boat to serve and enjoy.
