(2)  Sear preserved innards on high.  Lower to medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.

(3)  Remove larger turkey spices from pan and set aside.  Add 1/4 cup white wine to turkey juices.  Swirl to combine.

(5)  Remove detritus and larger spices (except neck, which you can reserve for turkey stock).  Cut and return to the gravy.  Set to low heat and stir sporadically (every 5 minutes or so)

(5)  Make roux.  Heat butter over high heat until melted.

(6)  Add flour, stirring vigorously (you want to break down the gluten in the flour to remove the “starchy” flavor).  Allow butter/flour to brown.
