Asking in anticipation of a problem every year . Is there a good way to quickly degrease drippings without one of those little degreaser gadgets ? My MIL never takes the grease out of her drippings and her gravy always has a layer of fat on top of it . I was going to offer to make it but don ' t know how to quickly get the grease off the drippings when her usual style is to just upend the entire roasting pan contents into a pan and add flour after the turkey has been removed . Also , gravy recipes I don ' t cook for other people too often so I usually just make a small amount of roux and then kind of eyeball the rest of the ingredients for a turkey gravy I ' d use some degreased drippings , maybe some stock , herbs and pepper . Is there a fairly simple recipe to follow for gravy for serving 10 people or so ?
