Instead of turkey fat make a roux with butter and enjoy...I think I got the idea from an Alton Brown recipe.

After spending the night in the fridge,skimmed the fat off the top.Diluted the drippings with the stock from the carcass and came up with something ok.Still a little on the salty side but plenty of smoke flavor.....not sure I'm going to make gravy with it but it can be used later on down the road.
