Make Ahead Smoky Madeira Gravy

You can make this gravy ahead of time in a pressure cooker or simmer it on the stovetop; either way, this Madeira-spiked gravy recipe will lighten the load on Thanksgiving Day. A concentrated smoked turkey stock serves as the base of this gravy, which will keep in the refrigerator up to three days and also freezes beautifully. Wondra flour helps ensure a smooth consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ pounds smoked turkey wings (see Note) 

  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 

  • 3 (3-inch) thyme sprigs 

  • 1 medium carrot (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped 

  • 1 small celery stalk (about 1 1/2 ounces), chopped

  • 1/2  small yellow onion, cut into wedges
