Ingredients
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions

2. 2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
3. 3. Gradually whisk in the broth, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
4. 4. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

Notes
For a richer gravy, use turkey drippings or bone broth in place of chicken broth. You can also adjust the consistency by adding more or less broth to reach your preferred thickness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
