Wine And Shallot Sauce For Turkey; A Change from Gravy

I've known about this sauce for ages but somehow never made it. Lots of people being on low-carb this year, I wanted something to moisten the turkey without all that flour.
This was a HUGE hit, and is a foolproof recipe.

1 cup white wine
1 large shallot, peeled and minced
In a small saucepan, boil together until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
Add:
1 cup turkey stock or chicken broth
Boil until reduced by half. Then add:
1 cup heavy cream
Boil to reduce slightly. Taste for seasoning and serve.

I took this another step and when the turkey was ready to move to the platter, poured all the drippings from the roasting pan into a separator pitcher, then poured only the juice part (not the fat) into the sauce and boiled it some more. It was totally delicious!

I love all these low-carb delicious recipes. And gourmet too! Gives me so much hope for keeping the weight off I've lost in 6 months.

This recipe for sauce for turkey sounds wonderful.

Really surprised me, Chrissy; something so easy could taste so good.
The pan drippings have a lot to do with it, I think, though this is a classic French sauce.

Ofcourse, I would like to have my PASTA sauce that has heavy cream in it and pour it over pasta. Not good for low carb. I'm hoping to make a conserted effort when we get home to go on low carb for a good two weeks. NO CHEATING...............
