Looking for good tasting & low carb Turkey Gravy Recipe
For real soon too!
I think I am going to splurge for a 1/2 cup or so of mashed potatoes next Thursday and would like to have gravy too. I suppose that, with the large jolt of carbs from the previously total abstinence from potatoes, what could a few more from gravy hurt.....supposedly 45 carbs or so worth, but...... I would appreciate any ideas or experience. Thanks for the time.

Are you doing the cooking? If you are, why not mashed cauliflower?
Anyway, if you're going to have mashed potatoes, I've always found that a TBS or two of cream stirred into some meat juice works well. If that won't do, get yourself some ThickenThin not/Starch thickener. It works really well. One more word, sometimes the idea of mashed potatoes and things is better than the actual thing, and the substitutes like cauliflower, squash, etc., satisfy the cravings just as well. Good luck. :-) -- Cheri Papa Joe wrote in message ... For real soon too! I think I am going to splurge for a 1/2 cup or so of mashed potatoes next Thursday and would like to have gravy too.

Thanks for the ideas.
I need to find that thickener stuff.....I know the gravy isn't too high a count, but every one I save there I can add to the spud count!! Cooked cauliflower is a bit tough for me to take...although I do like it cooked and then later in a refrigerated salad with oil and vinegar and seasoning.....broccoli too. I am not too sure about the canned gravy...... 'Appreciate the help. Joe On Fri, 19 Nov 2004 18:35:31 -0500, Papa Joe wrote: For real soon too!

They have it at most health food stores. It's a little expensive, but it
really does last a very long time. Whatever you eat, have a great Holiday, and a safe one. :-) -- Cheri Papa Joe wrote in message ... Thanks for the ideas. I need to find that thickener stuff.....I know the gravy isn't too high a count, but every one I save there I can add to the spud count!! |

Cherie Like one of those mall stores? I will look in GNC or whatever it is called. All this low carb stuff is expensive. However, I have found it makes doing low carb much easier. All I need now is low carb potatoes and popcorn....... You too. Joe On Fri, 19 Nov 2004 19:14:13 -0800, "Cheri" wrote: They have it at most health food stores.
