Just 5-ingredients are needed to make the perfect Gluten Free Turkey Gravy this Thanksgiving! Made from either turkey drippings or turkey stock (or a mix of both!) it is a rich, silky turkey gravy recipe you’ll need to make a big batch of it will be so popular!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- This Gluten Free Turkey Gravy recipe works both with pan drippings or with turkey stock, meaning you don’t have to have cooked your turkey before making your gravy – perfect for getting ahead! It also works well when you might not have drippings you want to use for gravy, like if you’ve smoked your turkey breast… or even tried deep-frying a turkey!
- You’re only switching regular flour for gluten-free all-purpose flour, so this turkey gravy stays smooth and silky without any of the usual add-ins in gluten-free recipes that might give it a gummy or gloopy texture.
Chef’s Tips
- While this gravy will be best made in time for Thanksgiving dinner and kept warm, if you want to make it a day ahead lay a piece of food wrap over the surface of the gravy in the refrigerator to stop a skin forming.
- Don’t skimp on cooking the flour down in the butter – if you don’t do this properly you’ll get a raw flour taste in your gravy – yuck!

Easy Gluten Free Turkey Gravy
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ – 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4-5 cups pan drippings or stock, or add more stock to make 4 cups pan drippings, plus 1 cup more for desired consistency
Instructions
- Drain the pan drippings for the roasted turkey through a fine strainer. Let sit and then remove any fat from the top of the drippings. Add in chicken broth or water to make 4 cups if necessary.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter.
- Sprinkle 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour over, whisking constantly about 3 minutes over low heat.
- Slowly add in the 4 cups turkey broth/drippings; whisk constantly over medium-low heat until bubbly and thickened (about 3 minutes). Whisk in at least 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is best), plus more (lots of black pepper is delicious here!)
- Use right away or keep warm over lowest heat setting, whisk again before serving.
Notes
- While this gravy will be best made in time for Thanksgiving dinner and kept warm, if you want to make it a day ahead lay a piece of food wrap over the surface of the gravy in the refrigerator to stop a skin forming.
- Don’t skimp on cooking the flour down in the butter – if you don’t do this properly you’ll get a raw flour taste in your gravy – yuck!
