Free Holiday Recipes These days many people are switching to a Gluten Free Diet, so here's some ideas for holiday recipes with no gluten that still taste terrific Gluten Free Gravy Ingredients Drippings from the roasted turkey 1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of dry white wine 2 1/2 cups turkey broth or gluten free chicken stock 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional) 2 Tablespoons gluten free flour 2 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter (optional) Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Directions Set the roasting pan with the turkey drippings over two burners set on medium high heat. Add the white wine, and 1/2 cup of turkey broth to the roasting pan. Cook, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until the liquid comes to a simmer. Strain the contents of the roasting pan through a sieve into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining 2 cups of turkey broth along with the thyme; bring to a boil over medium high heat; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the cream and gluten free flour in a small bowl and whisk until blended. Gradually whisk the cream mixture into the broth mixture. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until the gravy is thickened.
