See the ingredient checklist

Taste the gravy before salting because the drippings may already be well seasoned.

Strain the turkey drippings through a fine sieve and measure out 2 1/2 cups.
Melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and thyme and cook for about 1 minute, until the mixture takes on a little color.
Add the drippings gradually while whisking. Bring the gravy to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, whisking until it thickens.
Stir in the parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
