Total time20 min

Prep time5 min

Cook time15 min

Butter and flour whisk together into a silky golden roux, the base for a gravy that builds real depth in just minutes. Rich chicken or turkey broth gets whisked in slowly for a lump-free, velvety texture, while onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper round out the savory flavor. A finishing touch of heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves gives it that glossy, restaurant-style sheen, and a quick pass through a fine-mesh strainer guarantees a perfectly smooth pour every time. Ladle it over mashed potatoes, roasted turkey, or biscuits for a comforting staple that fits neatly into a soy free spread. It's simple, foolproof, and endlessly versatile enough to become your new go-to gravy recipe.
