Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1 shallot, minced (1/3 cup) 

1/2 pound chanterelle mushrooms, larger ones minced, smaller ones halved lengthwise (about 2 1/2 packed cups total) 

Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper 

2 ounces sweet Madeira or Marsala wine (1/4 cup) 

3 tablespoons instant flour, such as Wondra 

2 1/2 cups turkey stock, preferably homemade, or low-sodium chicken broth 

1 tablespoon packed thinly sliced fresh tarragon leaves 

Preparation

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown in places, 7 to 9 minutes.

Add wine and boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with flour; cook, stirring, until nutty and a golden-brown film forms on bottom of pan, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring a few times, until reduced and thickened slightly, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir in tarragon and season with salt and white pepper. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Rewarm in a saucepan over medium-low heat before using.
