With Thanksgiving less than a week away, I thought you all might need The Top Gluten-Free Gravy Recipes. If you do not already have a tried-and-true classic gluten-free gravy recipe—or are looking for something a little different from the usual gravy—you’ll find your new favorite recipe here!

There’s turkey gravy, beef gravy, sausage gravy, and even vegetarian and vegan gravy. There’s even a recipe for Chocolate Gravy. No kidding! Enjoy!

As always, I’ve labeled the recipes to give all of you the information you need if you have additional dietary restrictions and preferences. (One exception: I do not provide information about such allergens as peanuts, nuts, and sesame seeds as I do not personally know about all the safety concerns regarding such products and don’t want to accidentally share information that might be misleading.)

Georgina says: “This unbeatable Gluten-Free Gravy is velvety smooth and rich. For the best flavour make it with the drippings from your roasted meat, homemade stock and fresh herbs. But if you are caught short, you can easily substitute and I offer all the tips and tricks including which gluten-free flour to use and the best way to plan ahead for your gravy.” Note that she uses a small amount of a surprising ingredient to balance the savory flavors that come with gravy. Brilliant!

The good news is, with a little love and old-fashioned slow cooking, getting that rich flavor infused into your gravy is pretty darn easy to accomplish.”

~ Gluten-Free Chocolate Gravy from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures ~ gluten free, grain free, egg free, gum free, vegetarian

Lynn says: “If you are from the south, you have probably had, or at least heard of, chocolate gravy. If you are from the northern or western part of the United States, you have missed out on a true southern treat … So, okay who would not love a warm chocolate sauce type gravy poured over a hot biscuit?! I actually had not had chocolate gravy until recently and I can’t believe it has taken me so long to try it. And my kids, well they loved it. I will say though that this is more of a special treat type breakfast. It would be perfect for Christmas breakfast, especially if served over my gluten free drop biscuits. In fact, it may just be our Christmas breakfast this year.

Reader reviews: “Outstanding. I haven’t had chocolate gravy in years because of my celiac. Found this recipe and almost ate myself into a chocolate coma.” and “Just made this and it is outstanding! am going to use it on my Easter fruit tray!!

I have also made this gluten free gravy ahead of time and frozen it and it works great.”

I’m not joking when I say this is the easiest and most delicious gluten-free gravy you’ll ever try!”

Reader reviews: “This was the star of the evening yesterday! We had 6 cups of turkey drippings, so I tripled this recipe. Good thing because almost all of it disappeared yesterday. Super yummy. I think next time I will use fresh thyme and, if I can find it, marjoram. This was one of the few times that I’ve been able to have gravy – now it’s time to get a gravy boat! Thank you!” and “Delicious and very easy to make. I made mine using bone broth and served it with chicken and mashed potatoes. It was a great addition to my otherwise ordinary meal. I will definitely use this recipe again!” and “Thank you, Audrey! I needed a quick and easy gravy recipe for our huge family gathering. It’s perfect for the mashed potatoes and the turkey, too! I will definitely make this one again and again!”

~ Gluten-Free Gravy from Nourishing Meals ~ gluten free, corn free, dairy free, egg free, with grain-free, rice-free option

Ali says: “Making gluten-free gravy is so simple. No need to add butter and make a roux. I have a few tips for creating rich, flavorful pan juices from cooking a bird, whether it be a turkey or chicken. These photos use a local, pastured, organic chicken, but I cook a whole turkey the same way using a larger stainless steel roasting pan. Use whatever fresh savory herbs you have on hand, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, and marjoram. Dried herbs work as well. These are key to creating a rich, flavorful gluten-free gravy!”

Amazing mouth feel. 10 out of 10 stars for me.”

Reader reviews: “Gravy! Need I say more? 🙂 Kim, thank you for another great recipe! I had to alter slightly, because I didn’t have thick bacon or half and half. I didn’t have thick bacon, so I used 8 slices instead of 6 and I used 2 cups heavy cream, with 1.5 cups whole milk, because I didn’t have the half and half. It was amazing and the Italian seasoning added such a good flavor, that I didn’t expect.” and “Take her word & my word for this recipe! I’m not a celiac & I love love love this!” and “This is heaven.

Will definitely be making this again.” and “I made the gravy to go with GF biscuits that I had already made and it was amazing! I didn’t have enough regular milk so I used 1 cup 2%, 3/4 cup almond milk, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Will definitely make it again!”

~ Make Ahead Gluten-Free Turkey Gravy from Let Them Eat Gluten-Free Cake ~ gluten free, egg free, sugar free, gum free

Kim says: “This make ahead method is so brilliant and has a TON of flavor that it gets from roasting the turkey wings with the veggies before making the stock. It does take a little time to make the stock, but it’s almost all hands-off time so doing this days before (or even weeks if you freeze it) is a no brainer!” (Note: Be sure to check out her note about using onions in this recipe if you’re not a fan of onions. It may be a game changer!)

Reader reviews: “This without a doubt was the very BEST turkey gravy I’ve ever had. It was so good I was standing at the stove eating spoonfuls of it while putting dinner away. Thank You!!!” and “I’ve been messing around with different flours to make gravy. Never dawned on me to use cornstarch. Also, your roasting the wings and vegetables for the stock, amazing. Thank you times a billion.”

~ Paleo Herb Gravy from Elana’s Pantry ~ gluten free, grain free, dairy free, egg free, sugar free, paleo, primal

Elana says: “When I made this Paleo Gravy, I roasted a chicken with onions and thyme and used the pan drippings for the recipe below. I probably only had a couple of tablespoons of drippings, and I actually think this gravy recipe might work without any drippings at all. The onions thicken the gravy; I learned this trick from the late, great author Elaine Gottschall (also a dear friend), who wrote a fabulous gravy recipe in her book Breaking the Vicious Cycle , which I highly recommend.”

Reader reviews: “This is my favorite recipe since you posted it to your blog a couple of years ago.” and “This recipe along with the mashed cauliflower is one of my all-time faves!! So delish!!” and “The gravy turned out perfect using the turkey stock from cooking my turkey in the crock pot. In fact, I had 5 cups of stock. 1 cup was plenty to pour over the sliced turkey to keep it moist until tomorrow. Who knew gravy without flour could be so tasty.”
