Whole30 Paleo Gravy

This easy Whole30 Paleo Gravy recipe tastes just like your favorite Thanksgiving gravy! You would never guess this was gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free! Just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes cooking time are required to make this healthy gravy recipe! 
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Yield:8

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fat of choice like ghee, coconut oil, drippings, or lard
  • 4 tablespoons tapioca starch or arrowroot powder
  • 2 ½ cups chicken stock hot, but not boiling; or vegetable stock
  • ½-1 tablespoon coconut aminos optional
  • ¼-½ teaspoon poultry seasoning

Instructions

  • Heat fat in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle tapioca starch or arrowroot powder over fat and whisk vigorously until smooth.
  • Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Mixture should be golden and bubbling.
  • Slowly pour in warm stock while whisking constantly. Mixture will become slightly grainy and clumpy. Keep whisking until very smooth.
  • Cook gravy for 2 to 4 minutes or until thickened, whisking regularly. Add coconut aminos and poultry seasoning. If necessary, add more salt and pepper to taste. 

Notes

  • I like to use coconut aminos for a richness to the gravy, and it adds a beautiful color. However, you can easily keep it out, especially for chicken dishes, to keep the gravy a lighter color.
  • Make it Vegetarian/Vegan: Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
