Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil (1½ ounces; 42 grams)
- 3 tablespoons sweet rice flour or white rice flour (¾ ounce; 21 grams)
- 2 cups warm turkey, chicken, beef, or vegetable broth (16 ounces; 453 grams)
Seasonings
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat Fat: In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat or heat the olive oil until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Create Roux: Add the sweet rice flour and whisk continuously until a smooth paste forms. Keep whisking for about 3 minutes until the paste turns light beige, indicating it is cooked.
- Add Broth: Slowly pour the warm broth into the paste in a slow and steady stream while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Thicken Gravy: Continue cooking and whisking until the gravy thickens and starts to bubble.
- Simmer & Season: Reduce the heat and let the gravy simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and add the gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Serve & Store: Serve the gravy warm over your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Notes
- Use sweet rice flour for a smoother texture, but white rice flour can be substituted if unavailable.
- Warm the broth before adding to avoid lumps and ensure quick thickening.
- Adjust seasoning according to personal preference, especially salt and pepper.
- This gravy pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving meals or any dish that needs a rich, gluten-free sauce.
- Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently to avoid separation.
