How to Make Gentle Thanksgiving Mushroom Gravy

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup of chopped onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable stock, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the gravy begins to thicken.
  5. Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of sage, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste.
  6. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
