Paleo/GF gravy!

My Charming Companion got a surprise free turkey from the church next to his house on Thanksgiving. So, now, here it is a few weeks later and time to eat that turkey. With copious amounts of gravy. I am quite pleased because I enjoy eating leftover turkey, and not having made one this year, did not get to. Until now! (A nice turkey tarragon salad recipe coming soon...)

This gravy tasted really nice, and was very easy. The amount below is for a 10-12 pound turkey - adjust as needed for your size bird. The same recipe would also work well for chicken, and other herbs would also work great.

Turkey, mashed cauliflower, gravy, and cranberries!
Paleo Gravy
 
  • Drippings from pan
  • 2 c chicken broth
  • 4 T coconut flour
  • 1 T fresh sage, minced
  • 1 T fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste (depending on the saltiness of your bird and broth)
Heat the pan drippings in a heavy saucepan along with broth. Whisk in coconut flour (whisk brusquely so you don't get lumps). Add in herbs and taste for saltiness. Add salt and pepper to your preference. Simmer the gravy a bit so that it thickens/reduces. Serve!

  1. I have been searching for a good paleo/grain-free gravy recipe. Thanks for posting this. I have another turkey in the freezer and am looking forward to making it soon. I didn't know that I liked turkey so much until this year, it's my new favorite!
