Keto Gravy Recipe {Low-Carb and Gluten-Free}
Gravy often contains high-carb ingredients like corn starch, flour, or other thickeners that aren't keto-friendly. And don’t even think about getting store-bought gravy from a jar or a pouch. This stuff is usually loaded with empty carbs or junky ingredients.
This homemade keto gravy is a low-carb gravy option that perfectly complements any meat or protein source.
Try it on Thanksgiving over Oven-Roasted Turkey Legs (collect the pan drippings after they come out of the oven), or on your cauliflower mashed potatoes. Feel free to make more than you need -- this is a freezer-friendly recipe.
This gravy is made from pan drippings, and our keto chef added some additional richness with heavy cream and a fragrant pop of fresh herbs. This low-carb gravy will make everything on your plate taste better.
This recipe is: keto-friendly, low-carb, gluten-free, grain-free, no added sugar
