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!
