Default Turkey gravy results, not as good as I hoped

How brown was the flour paste that you made with the butter? It should
have been golden, any darker than that and you will get a burned taste
from it.

Also, did you scrape anything out of the bottom of the roasting pan
that was burned? Sometimes bits of stuff in the pan get completely
blackened before the bird gives up juices and fat, and the flavor
mingles in the drippings.
