Gluten-Free Turkey Drippings Gravy is a lip-smacking and luscious gravy. It will have you wanting to lick your plate clean. It will elevate any turkey dinner. Indeed, there is nothing better than homemade turkey gravy. In all honesty, the pan drippings from a roasted turkey make all the difference. Gravy is essential for Thanksgiving. Gravy is normally quick and easy to make. Not to mention, that the recipe is versatile. It is versatile as it depends on how the turkey was seasoned. A flavorful addition to mashed potatoes, stuffing, and poultry.Picture of gravy being poured over turkey slices and mashed potatoes and gravy in the background.

Gluten-Free Turkey Drippings Gravy

Needless to say, gravy is one item that needs to be on the table. In my humble opinion, the turkey would not be half as tasty without homemade gravy. To clarify, I don’t think my son would eat mashed potatoes without gravy. Every excellent gravy starts with the pan dripping from poultry. Consequently, I have never had a premade gravy that was as tasty as homemade. Not to mention, all the unhealthy ingredients that are in some of those premade gravies.

What are pan drippings? They are the liquids and brown bits left in the roasting pan or oven cooking bag. In any case, I usually cook my turkey in an oven bag. Why? Because it is quicker with no basting.

Last but not least, add Homemade Turkey Bone Broth. Obviously, additional fresh herbs can be added. Hence, rosemary, sage, and thyme pair nicely with turkey.

How To Make Gluten-Free Turkey Drippings Gravy:

Nevertheless, if there are leftover pan drippings don’t forget to freeze them. In any case, store any leftovers in ice cube trays. Ice cubes can be added to soups or stews. Furthermore, store gravy in the fridge for up to 4 days. After four days, freeze any remaining gravy in the freezer. Remove the cubes from the trays. Place the ice cubes into freezer quart bags. Add the date and label the bags. Use cubes for shortcut gravy.

To thaw allow to defrost in the fridge. When reheating stir continuously.

In conclusion, all good gravies start with a roux. A roux is melted butter and flour. Making a roux. Melted butter and tapioca flour.It makes a pasty combination. Flavored with the fat and drippings from a roasted turkey or poultry. Once, the roux is made turkey drippings and broth are added. In conclusion, stir until the gravy is thickened.

Generally speaking, the rule of thumb for gravy is 2:2:2. The three ingredients are fat, flour, and liquid. With this information, any amount of gravy can be made.

Fixing Lumpy Gravy:

In the event, gravy is lumpy use an immersion blender. Or add to a blender. Or run through a strainer.

Tools Needed:

Nonetheless, a fat separator measuring cup is always nice to have on hand.
