Low FODMAP Gravy

Don’t let following the low FODMAP diet stop you from enjoying your Thanksgiving when you can have this delicious Low FODMAP gravy.

Many gravies are thickened with flour, which is a no-no on the low FODMAP diet. Our recipe uses cornstarch, so it is FODMAP friendly and gluten-free!

Many store-bought chicken stocks use onions and celery in their recipes, which are considered to be high FODMAP. So, make sure to use a FODMAP-friendly stock* (affiliate link) for this recipe, or you can make your own!

What do I need to make low FODMAP gravy?

  • Liquid- this could be drippings from the turkey, low FODMAP stock or a combination of both
  • Cornstarch
  • Butter
  • Salt and Pepper

How to make low FODMAP gravy

This recipe is as easy as it gets. Mix the liquid, cornstarch, and butter in a pan, heat it up, and whisk until everything is combined. You can use turkey drippings, stock, or a combination of both.

If you make this gravy ahead of time, and it thickens too much, simply reheat and add a splash or two of chicken stock and you are good to go!
