Method

Bring the stock to the boil. Add the mushrooms, remove from the heat, then cover and set aside for 30 mins. Strain into a jug and discard the mushrooms (or save for a risotto).
Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and cook over a low heat, stirring regularly, for 20 mins. Add the shallot after 10 mins.
Stir in the flour and cook for 2 mins. Slowly stir in the stock; boil for 5 mins or until thickened to a gravy. Set aside.
Once the turkey is cooked, pour the roasting juices into a bowl and leave to settle. Spoon away the top clear layer of fat, then add the remaining brown juices to the gravy. Reheat and taste to adjust the seasoning. Serve piping hot.
