Servings 10
Calories 45kcal
Ingredients
- all turkey drippings from the pan
- 2 ½ cups / 600 ml turkey or chicken stock
- 1 roasted onion, 1 carrot, 2 celery sticks and ½ head garlic from the pan
- 120 ml / ½ cup red wine
- salt and black pepper to taste
To thicken
- optional 3 tsp ground chia or ½ xanthan gum
Instructions
- Drain the juices from the turkey pan. Keep the veggies to one side. I used a gravy separator for this.
- Place the turkey pan juices and roasted vegetables in a saucepan and pour over the wine and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes to concentrate the gravy and reduce the volume by about half.
- Add the chia or xanthan gum and blitz with a hand blender or smoothie blender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return to the pan and simmer for another few minutes to let the gravy thicken.
Notes
Serving size: ¼ cup / 60 ml gravy per person.

Makes about 2 ½ cups gravy (600 ml).
Note - the vegetables will make the gravy take on a paler colour - but it’s so tasty, and it helps the gravy thicken. To get a browner colour, simply pass the gravy through a muslin cloth.
Add 2 tbsp butter for a richer gravy.
If the gravy is too thick, loosen with more turkey stock.
