Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve, peel and chop the onion into quarters. Roughly chop the carrot into thick rounds (use a carrot from the bag we sent you, no need to peel). Heat the oil (see ingredients for amount) in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the whole thyme and rosemary sprigs (see ingredients for amount, you'll need some of the rosemary and thyme later on). Add the onion and carrot and fry until nicely browned, 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally.

2

Once the veg is browned all over, add the flour (see ingredients for amount - you need some of the flour for the potatoes) and stir until it's all well coated. Cook for 30 secs then slowly pour in the boiling water (see ingredients for amount). Stir continuously to avoid any lumps. Stir in the turkey stock powder until dissolved. Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer gently for 25-30 mins, or until reduced and nicely thickened. TIP: Add a splash of water if it gets a little too thick for your liking or simmer for longer if you prefer a thicker gravy.

3

Once thick and glossy, drain your gravy through a sieve into a large mixing bowl. Use a large spoon to squeeze out all the liquid from the veggies, then discard the veg. Allow the gravy to cool, then cover and refrigerate.
