Ingredients

• 2 cups turkey drippings
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine the turkey drippings and low-sodium chicken broth. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch with the water to form a smooth paste.

Step 3

Gradually whisk the flour-cornstarch mixture into the simmering turkey broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the gravy begins to thicken.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, allowing the gravy to gently simmer. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, stirring well to incorporate the spices.

Step 5

If using, add a sprig of fresh thyme to infuse the gravy with additional flavor. Let it simmer for an extra 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.

Step 7

Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the thyme sprig (if used) and remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 8

Serve the gravy hot over roasted turkey or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your low-fat classic turkey gravy!
