Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in chopped fresh thyme leaves and minced garlic clove; sauté 1 minute. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually add pear nectar and reserved drippings to saucepan; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes or until desired thickness. Serve with Pear-Thyme Brined Turkey.

Why this Thyme-Pear Gravy works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Thyme-Pear Gravy that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
