Make Gravy

1. Pour off all but ¼ cup of fat from the pan of roasted chicken, turkey or meat.  Be careful not to pour off the caramelized drippings. Add mirepoix
2. Put the pan on top of the stove over medium heat.  Sprinkle the pan with flour.  Using the back of a slotted spoon, stir the flour about the pan, scraping the crispy bits of drippings loose
3. Add bay leaves and fennel. Cook until the flour starts to brown, about 2-3 minutes
4. Add wine and continue stirring until it thickens.  Add 3 cups stock, simmer 5-10 minutes
5. Season with salt and pepper
6. Remove from heat and ladle through a fine-mesh strainer
