Carnivore Gravy

Cultural Context

Carnivore Gravy has its roots in American cooking, often made from the drippings of roasted meats. It's a staple accompaniment for meats like turkey, beef, or pork, enhancing the dish's flavor with a rich, savory sauce. This gravy is especially popular during holiday meals and family gatherings, showcasing the comfort of home-cooked meals. Today, variations exist, with some opting for gluten-free or vegetarian alternatives, but the traditional meat-based version remains a favorite in many households.

1

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pan.

2

If using giblets and neck, fry them in the melted butter for 8 to 10 minutes to extract flavor. (Skip this if not using giblets.)

3

Pour 2 to 2 1/2 cups of turkey drippings into the pan. (Using only 3/4 cup due to spillage.)

4

Add 1 cup of chicken stock to the pan.

5

Let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes until reduced by half.

6

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of cold water with 3 tablespoons of gelatin, adding one tablespoon at a time and mixing until fully dissolved.

7

After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully combined.

8

Optionally, add heavy cream for a creamier gravy or xanthan gum/guar gum for thickening, starting with half a tablespoon and mixing in.

9

Taste the gravy to check for seasoning, ensuring it is hot before tasting.
