Mustard Seed Gravy

This mustard seed gravy is a sophisticated addition to any roast dinner, offering a punchy, savoury depth that elevates traditional poultry dishes. By roasting the turkey giblets and chicken wings first, you create a complex, homemade stock base that far surpasses anything shop-bought. The addition of dry white wine and whole grain mustard provides a bright acidity and gentle heat, perfectly cutting through the richness of a festive meal.

Ideal for those seeking a dairy-free alternative to traditional creamy sauces, this recipe relies on a classic roux and a slow-reduced stock for its silky texture. You can easily prepare the gravy a day in advance and reheat it gently on the hob, making it an excellent time-saver for busy Sunday lunches or Christmas Day celebrations.

Ingredients for Mustard Seed Gravy

  • Turkey neck and giblets (from Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glazed Turkey)

  • 240ml dry white wine

  • 1.4kg chicken wings

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 30g plain flour

  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

How to make Mustard Seed Gravy

Preheat oven to 218°C. Arrange turkey neck and giblets in a large ovenproof skillet. Roast until very well browned, 35–40 minutes. Remove from oven, add wine, and set over medium heat. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until wine is reduced by three-quarters, 8–10 minutes. Transfer neck, giblets, and liquid to a large pot; add chicken wings, onion, garlic, and 1925ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is reduced to about 725ml , about 1 hour. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in flour. Cook, whisking often, until flour begins to smell mildly nutty, about 5 minutes. Whisking vigorously, add warm stock; bring to a simmer. Cook 1 minute; reduce heat to low and whisk in mustard and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Gravy can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
