SERVINGS: 12

CATEGORY: Low Fat

METHOD: Other stovetop

TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 45 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup sherry or unsweetened apple juice
  • 2-1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon turkey drippings
  • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

In a large saucepan, saute the onion, carrot and celery in oil until tender. Add sherry or apple juice; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Add the water, parsley and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until liquid is nearly reduced by half.
    Strain and discard vegetables and herbs; set liquid aside (liquid should measure 1-1/2 cups). In a small saucepan, combine flour and broth until smooth. Stir in the drippings, sage, browning sauce if desired, salt, pepper and reserved liquid. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 3 cups.
