Recipe Notes:
- Ingredients amounts have been left uncalculated because of the wide variety of applications for this recipe. The amount would greatly vary between a turkey dinner and two pork chops. We use 1/8 cup of cream cheese to thicken/flavour a dinner for two and ½ a cup to enhance a turkey dinner. Use these numbers loosely in accordance to your own gravy preferences.
- If making turkey gravy, we usually add garlic, a small carrot, turkey wings and thyme to the pan as it is deglazing and simmering. This adds to the flavour tenfold.
- We keep Xanthan gum in a kitchen salt shaker to ensure we use the amount we like.
- If you thicken the sauce too much, add extra broth to loosen the gravy
- Coconut Sauce is Coconut amino’s in the US
That xanthan gum is tricky!!
