Pour your broth into a saucepan and heat on low to medium heat. This will help the gravy not be clumpy later.
In a medium saucepan, melt ¼ cup unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary & 1 teaspoon fresh thyme to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Gradually whisk in the ¼ cup flour, stirring constantly to create a roux of the flour and butter. It will be thick! Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture turns golden brown.
Slowly pour 2 ½ cups turkey or chicken broth into the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it out with a little more broth or water. If it’s too thin, continue simmering until it reaches the desired consistency.
