Keto Gravy Delight 🎄
A delicious and rich low-carb gravy perfect for your festive meals, featuring browned butter and savory meat drippings for an unforgettable flavor.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Fine Mesh Sieve
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (start with less, add as needed)
- 1/2 cup meat drippings (from turkey, beef, or bacon)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 cup beef broth (or any broth you prefer)
Instructions
- First, collect your rich meat drippings from your roast or turkey. If you don't have any, you can make your own by roasting 2 to 4 pounds of turkey legs, wings, or neck at 400°F (200°C) for about 1.5 hours, then strain the drippings through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once it's warm, add the butter, along with your desired amount of salt and pepper.
- Let the butter gently melt, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until it starts to brown slightly – this step really deepens the flavor! This usually takes about 4-5 minutes in a thin non-stick pot, or 8-10 minutes in a thicker cast-iron pot.
- As soon as the butter achieves that lovely golden-brown color, reduce the heat. Gradually whisk in the xanthan gum, adding it slowly to prevent lumps. Keep whisking for 3-4 minutes until the butter mixture begins to thicken beautifully.
- While continuously whisking, pour in your collected meat drippings, the broth, and the soy sauce (or tamari). Continue mixing for about 5 minutes until your low-carb gravy reaches your desired smooth and thick consistency. Serve immediately and savor every delicious drop!
