Here's the perfect way to use those juices and drippings from your next roasted turkey. There's more than one way to thicken a sauce or gravy! Since flour and cornstarch are out when you're eating low-carb, a classic French cream reduction is in order. This rich sauce is complemented by the hearty taste of the mushrooms, and it's a great accompaniment to anyone's Thanksgiving turkey!

Ingredients

2 cups defatted turkey juices from turkey roasting pan or homemade turkey or chicken stock

1/2 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

10 ounces shiitake mushrooms, rinsed, stemmed and sliced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup dry sherry

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Directions

  1. Bring the juice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce by half. Add the cream and cook until reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
  2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, garlic, and sherry and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and almost dry, about 6 minutes
  3. Combine the mushrooms with reduced gravy and season with salt and pepper. Reheat, if necessary, and stir in the vinegar. Transfer to a gravy boat and keep warm until serving.

Phenomenal. A touch more sherry and a few drops of truffle oil at the end really top it off.
