Keto Turkey Gravy

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• ½ cup turkey pan drippings or olive oil
• 2 cups low-sodium gluten-free turkey or chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until soft and a bit golden, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
2. Whisk in the turkey pan drippings (or olive oil) and the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to simmer and slightly reduce the gravy, 8-10 minutes.
3. Whisk in the xanthan gum until smooth, then let the gravy simmer, whisking often, until it starts to thicken, 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
4. The gravy will thicken more as it rests. If it’s too thick, thin it with a little turkey broth. Serve!
