Simple Roast Turkey, Shiitake Gravy
Shiitake Gravy
Makes about 4 cups
Ingredients:
2 small onions, minced
1 level tablespoon minced ginger
3 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pint chicken stock, low-sodium preferred
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions: Place your roasting pan that you've just cooked your turkey in over medium-high heat and add onion, ginger, and shiitakes. Season and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow wine to reduce completely. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon chicken stock to form a slurry and set aside. Add remaining chicken stock and soy sauce and bring to a boil. While boiling, whisk in cornstarch slurry. Allow to simmer for 10 seconds to ensure cornstarch cooks. Check for flavor, season if necessary, and serve with turkey.
