hint: what to do with the turkey dripping fat
This is trick I learned one day when wondering what to do with the extra fat drippings I drain from roasting my turkey. Yes, I use some of the fat for making a roux, but I have learned to save all the seasoned fat drippings from my turkey. I dislike wasting anything.

How To Make hint: what to do with the turkey dripping fat
-
Step 1When I roast a turkey I do it on a rack. Then I drain off the fat from the drippings and save the dripping fat in a container in the freezer.
-
Step 2The next time I make turkey, I rub the turkey dripping fat on the turkey instead of using butter or oil. Then I lightly season the turkey, because the turkey fat drippings already have seasonings in it.
-
Step 3You'll be amazed at the flavor it imparts to your turkey and how rich in flavor the gravy will be.
-
Step 4I have also used the turkey fat drippings to roast potatoes and carrots in...they come out nice and brown and seasoned with a wonderful flavor.
