Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsalted butter Provides a rich base for the gravy.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Acts as the thickening agent.
  • 2 cups chicken broth or turkey broth Adds comforting and robust flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning Infuses the gravy with a delightful blend of herbs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme Offers a warm, earthy flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Balances the flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Adds depth and complexity.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbly and fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisking it into the butter, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns lightly golden.
  3. Slowly add the chicken or turkey broth while whisking continuously to remove lumps. Simmer for 2 minutes as the gravy begins to thicken.
  4. Add poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue to whisk and simmer until the gravy reaches your desired thickness, about 6-9 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the gravy warm over your favorite dishes.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade broth. Whisk continuously when adding broth to prevent lumps. Adjust seasonings to your preference and serve immediately.
