"Healthified" Gravy

"Healthified" Gravy
Recipe Tip
What is “Healthified”?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
Success
Using broth from cooked vegetables is a clever way to add flavor without extra fat. And, the flavor is enhanced more with a secret ingredient—a small amount of reduced-sodium soy sauce.
75% fewer calories • No fat • 38% less sodium than the original recipe—see the comparison. There's no need to give up Thanksgiving gravy! From eatbetteramerica.
