Ingredients

• 2 cups turkey drippings
• 1 cup chicken or turkey stock
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1.5 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Collect the turkey drippings from your roasted turkey. Strain them through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids and set aside 2 cups of drippings.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the melted ghee and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the turkey drippings and chicken or turkey stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with cold water to create a slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 9

Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the simmering gravy. Stir constantly until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed. If it needs more salt or pepper, add to taste.

Step 11

Once the gravy has reached your desired thickness, remove it from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve again if you prefer a smoother texture.

Step 12

Serve the Whole30 Classic Turkey Gravy warm over turkey or your favorite Whole30-approved sides.
