Holiday Low Carb Carbquik Turkey Gravy
A classic holiday turkey gravy made low carb using Carbquik instead of flour, delivering traditional flavor, body, and pourability without the carb load. Designed to behave like real gravy at the table and reheat cleanly for make-ahead meals.
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter cubed
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup Carbquik
- 3 cup turkey stock or prepared Better Than Bouillon turkey base
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Sprinkle in salt and pepper if using plain stock, then whisk in Carbquik until fully absorbed.
- Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture turns a light nut-brown and loses raw flour smell.
- Slowly pour in turkey stock while whisking continuously.
- Cook until gravy thickens but remains loose and pourable.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, or cool and refrigerate.
Notes
If using Better Than Bouillon, omit added salt entirely and adjust seasoning only after thickening.
This gravy continues to thicken as it sits, including at the table, so stop cooking while slightly thinner than final desired consistency.
For make-ahead gravy, intentionally leave it loose and reserve extra stock for reheating.
Reheat gently on the stovetop and thin with stock or water as needed.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
