To Prepare the Gravy:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together:
- 1/4 cup of the gravy mix
- 1 cup of water or milk (for a creamier gravy, use milk)
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue stirring for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency.

Notes
- For a thicker gravy, cook for a few extra minutes or reduce the liquid slightly.
- For extra flavor, add black pepper, garlic powder, or fresh herbs.
- Store leftover prepared gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water.
