Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup turkey drippings
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Collect and Prepare Drippings: After roasting your turkey or cooking turkey parts, carefully collect the drippings from the pan. Strain the liquid to remove any solids for a smooth gravy base free from grit. Set aside for thickening.
  2. Make the Roux: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt a bit of plant-based butter and whisk in the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously until the mixture turns golden and fragrant. This forms the base that will thicken the gravy beautifully.
  3. Add Broth and Flavorings: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add the turkey drippings, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), onion powder (natural), black pepper, fresh thyme, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Incorporate Natural Gelling Agent and Simmer: Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring to create the ideal silky texture. Let the gravy simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken evenly.
  5. Final Taste and Adjustments: Taste your gravy and tweak seasoning as needed. More vinegar adds brightness, while additional black pepper lifts the savory notes. Strain once more if you desire a perfectly smooth finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use warm broth to help prevent lumps when thickening the gravy.
  • Whisk constantly during the roux and mixing stages to ensure smoothness.
  • Simmer the gravy gently to avoid breaking or over-thickening.
  • Customize seasonings gradually to perfectly balance the flavor.
  • Strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve for a silky, professional finish.
