2 Mix flour and Sherry in a small bowl until smooth paste forms. Cover flour paste lightly.

1 Transfer pan juices to an 8-cup glass measuring cup. Spoon off fat and discard. Add enough chicken broth to pan juices to measure 5 cups; add to saucepan with mushrooms.
4 Add flour paste and whisk to combine. Bring mixture to boil, stirring frequently. Boil until thickened to a light gravy, about 10 minutes.
3 Mix in cream, thyme, and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with turkey.
