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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add unsalted chicken broth to the saucepan with the turkey drippings and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well to prevent clumping.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir in the butter until fully melted, and add the salt, pepper, and fresh thyme to the gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Step 6
Continue to simmer the gravy for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve the gravy warm with your favorite low-carb dishes or over roasted turkey.
