Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey drippings
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free cornstarch
- 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped
Instructions
Collect the pan drippings from the turkey roasting pan, straining them through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the melted butter, whisking constantly to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly add the strained turkey drippings and gluten-free chicken broth to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, thyme, and sage. Adjust the seasoning as needed after tasting.
Remove from heat and strain the gravy again for an extra smooth texture, if desired.
Serve hot alongside your roasted turkey and enjoy the rich, herby flavors of this gluten-free classic turkey gravy!
