Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup Pamela’s Artisan Blend Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Turkey Concentrate
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons to ½ cup heavy cream optional

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Use a good-quality pan to distribute the heat evenly. You’re looking for a frothy, bubbling surface but don’t let it brown.
  2. Once the butter is melted, whisk in Pamela’s Artisan Blend Gluten-Free Flour. Stir continuously to create a roux. Keep it cooking for about 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken and eliminate any raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually whisk in the two cups of filtered water combined with the Better Than Bouillon Turkey Concentrate. Stir vigorously to avoid lumps while incorporating all the flavors.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, add the garlic powder, fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. If desired, whisk in the heavy cream for added richness. Go light on it if you want a healthier version or skip it altogether for a dairy-free option.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Ingredients: Using high-quality butter and broth can significantly enhance the flavor.
  • Whisk Well: Continuous whisking prevents lumps and ensures a smooth consistency.
  • Adjust Thickness: For thicker gravy, let it simmer a bit longer. For a thinner consistency, add more water gradually.
  • Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: If you have fresh thyme, use it! But dried thyme works perfectly too. Just use less, since it's more concentrated.
  • Taste as You Go: Don’t hesitate. Taste your gravy during the cooking process. Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.
