Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, or until it starts to turn a light golden brown. Keep whisking to avoid lumps.
- Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking continuously to combine it with the roux. Keep whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, chicken bouillon and dried sage. Mix well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, and continue to cook it for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Keep whisking occasionally to ensure a smooth gravy.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thinner gravy, you can add more broth, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the gravy has thickened, remove it from the heat and serve immediately.

Notes
- Each serving is ¼ to ½ cup.
- Broth Choice: You can use either chicken or vegetable broth. For a vegetarian version, stick with vegetable broth. Low sodium broth is recommended to better control the saltiness of the gravy.
- Flour Substitutions: If you need a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular all-purpose flour or cornstarch.
- Adjusting Thickness: For a thicker gravy, allow it to simmer a bit longer. If it's too thick, simply thin it out by whisking in a bit more broth until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Seasoning to Taste: Don't hesitate to adjust the seasonings according to your preferences. If you love garlic, feel free to add a bit more garlic powder, or throw in a pinch of paprika for a smoky twist.
- Storing and Reheating: This gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat it in a saucepan over low heat, adding a little broth if it's too thick.
- Making in Advance: You can make this gravy a day ahead. Simply reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, stirring well before serving.
