How to Make Low Fat Gravy

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley in 1/4 cup of chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat until the vegetables are tender (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup chicken broth until completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the remaining 1 1/4 cups of chicken broth.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
