If using a whole bird, pour some water (about 1 cup) into the pan and scrape the dripping. You can add 1/4 cup white wine, if desired, instead of using all water.
Measure how much you have and add water or stock to make 2 cups. Or, you can just use all the stock.
Stir in the arrowroot and onion powder.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and add some salt. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until the gravy becomes bubbly and thickened.
That's it! Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. It is so simple.
