Ingredients and Variations
SAUSAGE: Ground pork sausage has a savory flavor that makes keto gravy so delicious. Air fryer bacon, diced ham, or ground turkey can all be used as substitutes, but you may need to adjust the seasonings. Or make a meatless gravy and use sliced mushrooms instead.
GRAVY: Cream cheese, heavy cream, and a little bit of chicken broth give gravy its depth of flavor.
XANTHAN GUM: What is Xanthan Gum? Made by fermenting sucrose with bacteria, xanthan gum is used as a thickening agent and a binder. For this recipe, it’s used in place of almond flour or coconut flour. It is a common additive to many keto-based prepared foods and recipes and it is safe to use.
PRO TIP: For the best flavor, a pinch of nutmeg will add flavor to any gravy or cream-based sauce.
