Gravy for New Year's chicken

Ingredients:

• Juices left over from roasting a turkey
• Vegetable oil, as needed
• 2/3 cup flour
• 6-7 cups lightly salted chicken broth

Preparation:

1. Strain the roasting pan juices into a grease separator or large liquid measuring cup. Place the empty roasting pan over two burners and heat over medium heat. Splash in a little water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom; add to the glass containing the juices.
2. Skim 0.5 cups of fat from the surface of the juices and return it to the roasting pan. If you don't have enough fat to reach 0.5 cups, add vegetable oil. Place the roasting pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and golden, 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the juices and enough broth to make 8 cups of liquid. Bring to a boil and simmer, whisking, until the sauce thickens, 15-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
