Gravy
During this time of year I make gravy on a weekly basis. When the cold, damp weather sets in, rich, warm, gravy makes for a delicious comfort food smothered over roasted chicken or turkey.
Gravy
- 4 cups chicken stock
- poultry gizzards (optional)
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- pan drippings
- 1 tablespoon kudzu
- ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- In a medium saucepan bring stock, gizzards, onions and garlic to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until onions are soft
- Add drippings from roasting pan, simmer 5 minutes
- Strain out solids and transfer broth, onion and garlic to a vitamix
; dispose of gizzards
- Puree on low, then work up to high speed, blending until mixture is smooth
- Transfer mixture to a skillet and reheat gravy until boiling
- Meanwhile, in a small dish, mix kudzu with ¼ cup water, stirring until completely dissolved
- Stir kudzu into gravy until thoroughly combined and gravy begins to thicken, reduce heat
- Simmer gravy and reduce to desired thickness, anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes; add salt
- Serve
Serves 8
This simple gluten free, grain free and dairy free gravy turns a mere meal into a Thanksgiving feast.

i have a quick question, if you can’t find kudzu at the store, could you use arrowroot instead?
thank you for this site, i recently became gluten intolerant and it has not been easy for me, but thanks to you this new eating path has been made so much easier!
thank you and happy holidays!

You are welcome and I’m glad you found us over here!
I often use kudzu and arrowroot interchangeably in recipes and have not found it to be a problem.

I’m glad I found this website, the recipes look delicious and are healthy. Now my family and I can live a more healthier lifestyle and stay away from processed foods.
Gizzards??? Really?? Yuck. Everyone (that does cook) can get the same deep/rich flavors with ALL-veggie products. Start w/low sodium (always …. to control salt) organic veggie broth. Flavor broth w/= grilled mushrooms, a celery stalk, 2 potatoes, small onion, parsnips and a carrot to sweeten the pan. Puree OR drain off veggies and thicken broth w/arrowroot, kudzu,corn starch, or even a butter (light/low salt) flour roux can work. Without those dratted gibbies ….. equally delicious! HEALTHY THANKSGIVING FOLKS!
Maybe I just can’t find it. I need a recipe for a white gravy. I’m from the south and I love biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I miss it so much!
I’ve been using cornstarch, non dairy butter, white rice flour and rice milk (if you like soy – soy creamer makes gravy thicker).
