Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • Small handful fresh thyme
  • 1 fresh bay leaf
  • 125ml white wine

  • 2 tsp redcurrant jelly

Method

  1. While the turkey is resting, spoon all but 2 tbsp of fat from the roasting tin and discard. Place the tin over a low heat and stir the flour into the fat for 2 minutes, mixing in any crunchy bits.
  2. Stir in the herbs and wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, then gradually stir in the stock. Check the seasoning and whisk in the redcurrant jelly and any juices from the resting turkey. Pour into a warmed jug to serve.
