keto holiday recipe

It may seem like a challenge, but good gravy that's also keto-friendly is achievable. Here's how to make it with xanthan gum and which keto Thanksgiving recipes to use it on.

Keto Gravy

butter

c. turkey pan drippings

beef broth

Worcestershire sauce

garlic powder

Kosher salt

black pepper

xanthan gum

I can’t rate the exact recipe since I only had 1/4 cup pan drippings and changed the broth to chicken as the drippings were from roasted chicken. I also added 1/8 tsp more of the xanthan per another review. It tasted very good! Even my picky adult daughter asked me to always make it this way. 
A tip for the XANTHAN GUM: Mix it with the Worcester, garlic, salt, pepper and add some of the hot drippings from the pan. (Use a glass measuring cup and just scoop the liquid)  Whisk immediately. Continue adding more hot liquid. It’ll become paste. When it’s no longer clumpy add to the pan and continue to whisk away.

This recipe was excellent! The only modification was I cut the recipe in half, used bacon drippings, and added a little garlic salt/parsley mix. Yummy! In the end, I did also add another shake of xanthem gum to get the thickness right. As a gravy lover, this recipe will be a staple.

Had turkey and keto gravy tonight and I am happy 😊  I thought I was running out of good ideas but I keep finding more substitutions and being satisfied with my keto meal's.

First time making low carb gravy. It was delicious over our turkey. I will definitely be making it again.

This gravy is excellent! I added 1/8 tsp more xanthan gum to thicken it a little which made the texture perfect! Taste was great with the pan drippings I had. Which had roasted garlic seasoning in it.

We stuck to our Keto lifestyle for Thanksgiving and I’m so glad to have found this recipe! We used it on our turkey and loaded mashed cauliflower and it was great. Will definitely make this again!

Garbage label. This is regular gravy. Gluten free maybe, but not Keto.
