Ingredients

  • ¼ cup dairy free butter (53g)
  • ¼ cup brown rice flour (40g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules (2g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules (3g)
  • 6 sprigs of fresh thyme stems removed
  • 2 teaspoon fresh parsley (0.3g) finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy(a) sauce (18g) optional
  • cups turkey stock (590ml)
  • black pepper and pink salt to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the dairy free butter on medium heat in a non stick medium sized saucepan.
  • Add the brown rice flour in increments, while whisking quite rapidly to ensure no lumps are formed when making the roux.
  • Whisk in the onion granules, garlic granules, thyme, parsley and soy(a) sauce if you are using it.
  • Slowly pour in the turkey stock and whisk at the same time to make the gravy smooth.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the gravy thickens (this should take roughly 10 minutes), whisking constantly throughout the given time.
  • Add black pepper and pink salt to taste

Notes

  • For best results, serve the gravy while it is warm.
  • This is the recipe that you will need for the Homemade Turkey Stock.
  • You don't have to use brown rice flour, any other gluten free flour works too.
  • Any leftover gravy can be refrigerated (when cool) and stored in an airtight jar for 3-4 days.
  • To make this recipe vegan friendly, use Vegetable Stock instead along with 2 tablespoon (½ teaspoon of store bought) of my Browning Sauce for a darker hue.
  • This is a freezer friendly gravy, freeze in a freezer friendly container for up to 3 months.
  • Thoroughly thaw out the gravy (in the refrigerator) before returning it to a saucepan to heat through and serve.
  • Feel free to add any additional herbs or spices to your gravy.
