This simple gluten free, grain free and dairy free gravy turns a mere meal into a Thanksgiving feast.

Coconut milk used as a thickener also gives good mouth feel.

Maybe I just can’t find it. I need a recipe for a white gravy. I’m from the south and I love biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I miss it so much!

I’ve been using cornstarch, non dairy butter, white rice flour and rice milk (if you like soy – soy creamer makes gravy thicker).

Gizzards??? Really?? Yuck. Everyone (that does cook) can get the same deep/rich flavors with ALL-veggie products. Start w/low sodium (always …. to control salt) organic veggie broth. Flavor broth w/= grilled mushrooms, a celery stalk, 2 potatoes, small onion, parsnips and a carrot to sweeten the pan. Puree OR drain off veggies and thicken broth w/arrowroot, kudzu,corn starch, or even a butter (light/low salt) flour roux can work. Without those dratted gibbies ….. equally delicious! HEALTHY THANKSGIVING FOLKS!

I often use kudzu and arrowroot interchangeably in recipes and have not found it to be a problem.

i have a quick question, if you can’t find kudzu at the store, could you use arrowroot instead?

thank you and happy holidays!
