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.
Joe

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.

an entire cup of canned turkey gravy only has 12 grams of carbs.

i don't think you need to worry about it.

Yes, but he did say good tasting. LOL

i wouldn't eat canned gravy, but my point was that if even the worst
stuff is that low in carbs, it should be easy to make your own even
lower.

True. :-)

You can make your own gravy for very few carbs. If you don't have some
giblets available, just buy some turkey necks or wings, boil them until
well-done, use the broth and meat for the base for the gravy. Add some
milk and some thickener and you have gravy. If you use a small amount
of flour as the thickener, that's the main source of the carbs. If you
use thicken/thin or some other such product, there's virtually no carbs.
Enjoy the gravy on the mashed potatoes as a Thanksgiving Day treat.
Just don't make so much that you have leftovers.

Thanks.
That is what I will do...and with the potatoes too.
I will do that thickener thing with it though and use the saved carbs
for some 'grape juice'!
