Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Turkey drippings
- 2 cups Unsalted chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Begin by collecting the turkey drippings from the roasting pan once the turkey is done cooking. Strain the drippings through a fine mesh sieve into a medium saucepan to remove any solids.
Add unsalted chicken broth to the saucepan with the turkey drippings and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well to prevent clumping.
Gradually sprinkle the xanthan gum mixture into the simmering liquid, whisking constantly until the gravy starts to thicken. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the butter until fully melted, and add the salt, pepper, and fresh thyme to the gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Continue to simmer the gravy for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve the gravy warm with your favorite low-carb dishes or over roasted turkey.
