Using Cans of low sodium Gravy Turkey, Beef, and Chicken the cans say 10 ounces - the water can be removed and a light 1oz leather can be broken up and added to instant rice or topping a loaded instant potato for additional flavor.

Using a fruit roll up tray, open the can and spatula the entire contents into a even thickness all over the tray, do not prep the tray with non stick, the oil in the gravy when dried out will come off clean - drying appears to be 6 hours. divide the roll up into pieces and put inside the dry combined meals.
Do not try to fully put all the water back into the gravy, only a little is needed to melt it back.

Spaghetti sauce doesn't work the same - so I would use a non stick.

Hmm, wonder if that would work with homemade gravy? I use the gravy mix packets, but they're awfully salty.

When the spaghetti sauce is mostly dry, I just put the fruit leather trays in the freezer for 30 minutes. The leather pops off the tray, and I flip it over to dry the other side. Works like a charm.

The gravy packets was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Home Made would be fine, just toss in a blender for a short period - the lumps must come out!

Skip the packets, just make the gravy, it couldn't be much easier. Equal parts butter and flour stirred together for 5 minutes over medium heat, add stock, pepper, some worcestershire or kitchen bouquet and salt to taste.

When I crave it on the trail I use Simply Organics brand. It isn't low sodium but at least no MSG and isn't as bad. Pretty tasty as well!

Your home made gravy may go well with black rice, but please be careful about your source.

Are you saying my homemade gravy is lumpy, lol? ;)
