Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is a wonderful easy and quick no-fat gravy that may be used with canned broth or de-fatted chicken or turkey pan drippings and also may be made using beef drippings or canned beef broth --- if you are using chicken or turking drippings from the pan defat in a fat separator firstly then if needed add in fat-free chicken broth or water to equal 2 cups there is no need to add in the bouillon powder and garlic powder with the drippings just heat on top of the stove in a saucepan and continue with the flour/milk mixture --- this is a wonderful recipe for no-fat gravy!

Terrific gravy! I roasted a turkey breast for New Years Eve dinner with an onion and a celery stalk in the bottom, and the drippings were pretty well fat free on their own. A bit of pepper, milk and flour later and bingo! The perfect final flourish for our potatoes. Thanks a bunch.

OMG!! This is so good! Thank you for saving me from boring mashed potatoes. I love gravy and had to give this a try. I made everyone in the family try it as they passed through the kitchen before dinner....HUGE HIT! I used the fat free evaporated milk to make it thicker and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Thanks again, I will definitly make this again. Can't wait to serve it to the masses at a large family gathering, lets see if they can tell it's fat free! Again a big thanks!
