Ingredients

  • all turkey drippings from the pan
  • 2 ½ cups / 600 ml turkey or chicken stock
  • 1 roasted onion, 1 carrot, 2 celery sticks and ½ head garlic from the pan
  • 120 ml / ½ cup red wine
  • salt and black pepper to taste
To thicken
  • optional 3 teaspoon ground chia or ½ xanthan gum

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Drain the juices from the turkey pan. Keep the veggies to one side. I used a gravy separator for this.
  2. Place the turkey pan juices and roasted vegetables in a saucepan and pour over the wine and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes to concentrate the gravy and reduce the volume by about half.
  3. Add the chia or xanthan gum and blitz with a hand blender or smoothie blender. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Return to the pan and simmer for another few minutes to let the gravy thicken.

Notes

  • Serving size: ¼ cup / 60 ml gravy per person. 
  • Net carbs: 1.7g.  
  • Makes about 2 ½ cups gravy (600 ml).  
  • Note - the vegetables will make the gravy take on a paler colour - but it’s so tasty, and it helps the gravy thicken. To get a browner colour, simply pass the gravy through a muslin cloth.

  • Add 2 tablespoon butter for a richer gravy. 
  • If the gravy is too thick, loosen with more turkey stock.
