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...... an entire cup of canned turkey gravy only has 12 grams of carbs. i don't think you need to worry about it. 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.

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. |

I had my gravy on rutabagas yesterday (we had an early celebration).
Rutabagas are a Thanksgiving tradition in our family. I think they taste better than potatoes. Had two bites of dressing, lots of turkey, green beans, a dollop of cranberry relish, some squash, a few pickled mushrooms. Brought an LC pumpkin cheesecake and had a piece of that. Munched on nuts and a slice of brie. In , Papa Joe stated | 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.

Well, this sounds great(not a garlic fan--so I can use power)...
the sherry should give it a distinctive taste. I may do a couple of the ideas posted. What accomplishes the thickening in this recipe? Of course, it really does not need to be thickened as long as the taste is there. Thank You Joe On Sun, 21 Nov 2004 20:36:35 -0000, "Em" wrote: Papa Joe, how about this recipe from George Stella?
