    Method

    1. 1

      Roast wings and vegetables at 220°C (425°F) until deeply browned, about 1 hour.

    2. 2

      Simmer them with water or stock, thyme and bay for 1.5 hours; strain to about 1.4 litres.

    3. 3

      Cook butter and flour, stirring, until peanut-brown, about 5 minutes.

    4. 4

      Whisk in the hot stock gradually and simmer until thick; add soy, salt and pepper. Cool and refrigerate up to 4 days.

    5. 5

      On the day, reheat and whisk in defatted turkey drippings for extra flavor.
