Homemade Gravy Without Drippings is a simple from-scratch gravy you can make without pan drippings. Prepare it ahead to reduce stress for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter.

Have you started planning your Thanksgiving menu yet?
If you need dessert ideas, small pumpkin pie and small pecan pie are great options. For something savory, try this Homemade Gravy Without Drippings that I make every year for Thanksgiving.
This gravy is perfect when you don’t want to wait for the turkey drippings or if you’re using a frying method that yields no pan juices. It’s also ideal to make ahead — a big help when the holiday kitchen gets busy.
Though this post highlights Thanksgiving Dinner For Two, the gravy works equally well for Christmas, Easter, or any meal that needs a smooth, flavorful sauce for mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
All you need are a few pantry staples: butter, flour, and broth. The method is straightforward and adaptable to different dietary needs and flavor profiles.
