Instructions

  • Melt the ghee in a pan over medium heat, then sprinkle the tapioca flour or arrowroot powder over the top and whisk continuously to combine well until smooth, being cautious not to let the flour burn.

Notes

Ingredient Notes
  • This recipe works great with chicken, beef, turkey, or vegetable broth.
  • Tapioca flour is also labeled as tapioca starch, you can use arrowroot powder as well.
  • Ghee can also be substituted for avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil.
  • To make a classic turkey gravy with roasted meat pan drippings substitute some (or all) of the broth for the turkey pan drippings and make the recipe per directions.
  • To make this recipe vegan use vegetable broth in place of meat broth and substitute the ghee with avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil.
Storage Notes
  • Store this gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. This recipe can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • This is a great recipe to make ahead of time to save time on your busy holidays.

Bring to a low boil to continue thickening, or add a small amount of broth and whisk in to thin it out.
Serving Suggestions
