Steps:
- In a small pan on medium heat mix the 3 cups of water with the chicken and beef bouillon. Keep stirring until its all dissolved. Don't let it come to a boil. Add the sage, thyme and pepper; mix well and set this aside.
- in another pan melt the butter on low heat. When its all melted add the flour and gravy mix. Keep stirring till it looks like a paste and all flour is dissolved.
- Next add the bouillon mixture into the paste, stir until all the paste has dissolved and you have a gravy consistency. If you like your gravy a bit thinner, you can add water to thin it out.
- ENJOY!

Steps:
- Bring stock to a simmer in a small saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat.
- Carefully tilt roasting pan to pour turkey drippings into a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl or measuring glass; discard solids. Let liquid settle, then skim fat from surface. Set 6 Tbsp. fat aside in another small bowl for making the roux; discard any remaining fat or save for another use.
- Place roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat and pour in 1 cup stock, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour into bowl with drippings.
- Reduce heat to medium and heat reserved 6 Tbsp. fat in roasting pan. Whisk in rice flour and cook, whisking constantly, until roux is toasty-smelling and darkened to the color of peanut butter, 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in wine and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in pan drippings, about ½ cup at a time, whisking until incorporated after each addition. Whisk in remaining stock in the same manner (you may not need all of it; you want the final gravy to be pourable but with some body) and bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking often, until gravy is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes. Whisk in miso (if using) and 1 tsp. vinegar.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan. Taste gravy and season with salt and pepper if needed (if your turkey was brined, the gravy may not require more salt). If your gravy tastes flat, stir in up to 1 tsp. more vinegar to brighten. Keep gravy warm over medium-low heat until ready to serve. Do ahead: Gravy can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your gravy a more complex flavor. Good choices include onions, celery, carrots, garlic, shallots, and leeks.
- Roast your vegetables before making the gravy. This will caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness. Simply toss the vegetables with a little olive oil and salt, then roast them in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
- Season the gravy to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired. You can also add a splash of white wine or sherry for extra flavor.
- Thicken the gravy with cornstarch or flour. If you want a thicker gravy, whisk in a cornstarch or flour slurry (equal parts cornstarch or flour and water) into the gravy. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
