Turkey Juices
When the turkey has rested pick it up with two clean kitchen towels and pour out all the liquid into
the pan. Pour all the turkey juices in a large measuring cup or bowl and skim off the clear fat that rises
to the top. You are now ready to make gravy.
Roux
Melt the butter in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan, add the flour and cook over low heat,
taking care not to burn for at least 6 minutes. It is important that the flour is cooked through. Add the
giblet stock stirring with a whisk to avoid any lumping. Add the Jack Daniels and turkey juices. Season
to taste (i.e. salt & pepper & more JD if needed.) Keep warm until ready to serve!

1 – package fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 – teaspoon finely grated orange zest

popped. Stir in the orange zest and cool to room temperature.
