This turkey gravy is very simple – and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand.

To add more flavor, feel free to add up to a teaspoon of herbs de provence, oregano, basil, Italian Herbs blends, or more!

This recipe is incredibly adaptable, so you can put your own stamp on it.

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup turkey drippings
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Homemade gravy is easy to make – but there are a couple steps to ensure lump-free, rich, and silky gravy.

Do not skip whisking – a very vigorous whisk will help to keep your gravy from clumping. Really use your wrists to whisk and get that silky texture!

I always sift flour for gravy, to further help it from clumping.

• Pour drippings from your roasted turkey into a large bowl or measuring cup.
• In a medium nonstick saucepot, melt butter.
• Add flour, pepper, and whisk vigorously to combine.
• Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly fragrant – watch carefully and do not let burn!
• Pour the turkey drippings into the pot, without adding the fat which should have separated off from the drippings.
• You can skim the fat off the top using a fork or spoon to help prevent it from going into the gravy.
• Whisk vigorously to combine.
• Add the stock and whisk to combine.
• Bring the gravy to a slow simmer, whisking occasionally but vigorously.
• When gravy has thickened, remove from heat and transfer to a gravy boat for serving.

If you are sticking to a low carb diet, and flour is out, follow the following directions to make an easy, rich, and lump-free keto turkey gravy:

To make keto gravy, substitute flour for 1/2 tsp Xantham Gum.

Xantham gum goes a long way to thicken up gravy – so don’t use too much!

Make recipe as listed below, just swap xantham gum for flour.
