Grain-Free Gravy {GAPS, Paleo & Primal}

This peasant-style gravy is easy to make and soooo rich in flavor! And not that you needed another reason to love gravy, but it’s packed with minerals and collagen (which reduces cellulite and wrinkles – hey! hey!).

  1. Hi, Heather-

    Thanks for all the work you’re doing in getting all these recipes up! We are frying our turkey, so we won’t have pan drippings, per se. What would you suggest as a substitute?

      • I can do that. I have a ton of stock I just made.

        Yeah, I think our table will look a lot like yours. 🙂 We’re not grain-free, though, so I will be experimenting to make a real food version of DH’s favorite broccoli rice casserole.

        • Do you eat flour? If so- make a morney sauce (bechemel with cheese- use a strong cheese though) – and use that as the sub for the processed cheese. I did it last year and it worked beautifully

  2. All of your recipes are awesome! We are about to jump back into full time nourishing eating (after holidays and after I give birth and settle) and I am collecting like a squirrel from your blog <3

  3. Awww, so glad they’re inspiring you, Michelle Merritt! Believe it or not, many of these recipes are easier and faster than the traditional versions. We’ll probably do a GAPS Thankgiving next year for that reason alone 🙂

  4. Oh I agree! My only problem is I am not doing any cooking, so eating at the fams house is basically as traditional as you get. Next year I will be back on my game! Thia year just got rough and i am due within the coming week for baby number 2 🙂 i keep grains to a minimum but there has been more take out pizza lately than i would like. My only solice is that i am a chicken stock master! That keeps me feeling somewhat good about our eating. Oh, and im not afraid of fat 🙂 The stuffing g recipe is making me drool, too!

  5. Ahhh, a holiday season baby! My first was born 3 days before Christmas and I once had the privilege of photography a Thanksgiving Day birth – makes this time of year even more magical. Rest up and conserve your energy – wishing you a beautiful birth and a lovely time with your family!

  6. Hi, Thank you for this great blog! I can’t see how much cold water to use in this recipe. Can you please let me know how much?

  7. I think I am going to use this recipe for my gaps thanksgiving this year. One question-how are you getting 1 1/2 cups of pan drippings? Are you adding water to the bottom of the pan so that it is more of a broth?
