As a Midwestern, one thing is for certain and that’s gravy. I’m drizzling it over the turkey and the mashed cauliflower and, yes, maybe considering popping a straw into the gravy boat after dinner.
Gravy is traditionally made with flour or cornstarch, meaning it’s full of carbs and not a great choice for a low carb lifestyle. Our keto gravy makes this silky sauce an option for just about anyone. It’s gluten-free too!
We’re making this one super simple by using broth or stock and amping up the flavor with a dash of, wait for it, soy sauce or coocnut aminos. Adds all that savory goodness you want in a gravy!
Serve it alongside some roasted turkey breast and mashed cauliflower this Thanksgiving for the perfect meal.
♥ 3 Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe:
Rich Flavor: It’s made with butter, broth, and a little bit of soy sauce for deep savory flavor!
Quick & Easy: There’s nothing to this recipe! A little bit of whisking and simmering and you are good to go.
No worries: No flour or cornstarch here! Just a smooth, low carb gravy that works exactly like it should.
Ingredients, Swaps, & Tips:
- Broth: Chicken broth is a go to for gravy but you can also use beef broth or turkey broth here instead if you prefer. It just depends on the flavor you like and what you’re serving your gravy with.
- Drippings: If you’ve got pan drippings from a roast turkey or other meats use those instead of broth. Extra flavor!
- Xanthan Gum: This is a natural thickener used in quite a bit of foods! It’s made by fermenting sugar. A little goes a long way and things start to get slimy if you use too much.
- Clumping: If the xanthan gum clumps in your liquid, use a blender or frother to break up the clumps.
- Soy Sauce: This adds a nice depth of flavor to a box of broth. You can use coconut aminos instead if you avoid soy.
- Dairy-Free: Try the drippings from your roasted turkey or coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free alternative.
- Seasoning: We just add a bit of garlic powder. Most of the flavor comes from the broth and any pan drippings that are added, but you can spice it up however you like. Black pepper is always a must for me with gravy as well.
Step by Step:
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan and then whisk in the garlic and xanthan gum.
Add the broth and soy sauce to the pan and whisk well.
Continue cooking and stirring for around 5 minutes for the gravy to thicken.
