Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey drippings
- 1 cup chicken or turkey stock
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by pouring 2 cups of turkey drippings into a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. If necessary, strain the drippings to remove any solids.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of chicken or turkey stock to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder with 3 tablespoons of cold water, stirring until the arrowroot is completely dissolved. This mixture will serve as your thickening agent.
Step 4
Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan with the drippings and stock. Continue to whisk constantly for 2 to 3 minutes as the gravy begins to thicken.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos to introduce a depth of flavor to the gravy.
Step 6
Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, followed by 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves for a hint of herbal essence.
Step 7
Taste the gravy and add 0.25 teaspoon each of sea salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
Step 8
Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Remember that the gravy will continue to thicken as it stands.
Step 9
Serve hot alongside your turkey or favorite Paleo dishes. If needed, gently reheat the gravy over low heat before serving, whisking to restore its smooth texture.
