Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup turkey drippings
- 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, allow it to bubble for 2-3 minutes, being cautious not to let it brown.
Slowly whisk in the turkey drippings and the turkey or chicken broth until well combined.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the mixture while continuously whisking to avoid any clumping.
Continue to whisk over medium heat until the gravy starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Season with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, adjusting to taste.
Simmer the gravy on low for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and allow the gravy to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm over turkey or your favorite keto side dish.
