Add the broth and seasonings and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce till thickened, about half an hour.

Strain. SAVE those solids, because they're pretty awesome. They taste like pure thanksgiving, so put 'em on toast for breakfast.

This can be done well ahead of time. Fridge the gravy or even freeze it. Heat it up and whisk together come dinner time.
