Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey drippings
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free cornstarch
- 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Collect the pan drippings from the turkey roasting pan, straining them through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 3
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the melted butter, whisking constantly to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Slowly add the strained turkey drippings and gluten-free chicken broth to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Stir in the salt, black pepper, thyme, and sage. Adjust the seasoning as needed after tasting.
Step 7
Remove from heat and strain the gravy again for an extra smooth texture, if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot alongside your roasted turkey and enjoy the rich, herby flavors of this gluten-free classic turkey gravy!
