Ingredients

4 tablespoon Butter or sub vegan butter
2 pints Mushrooms sliced; button, cremini, shiitake, portobello or mix
2 Shallots minced
6-8 cloves Garlic minced
2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
2 heaping Tbsp Flour or sub gluten free 1-to-1 mix
1 C Wine white wine for poultry, red wine for red meat
2 C Bone Broth or Stock chicken stock for poultry, beef stock for red meat, or vegetable stock for vegan
Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Working in batches (it took me three batches in a 12 in sauté pan), melt butter over medium heat until bubbling, then add enough mushrooms to have in a single layer in the pan. Add a pinch of salt, then sauté until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and they are golden brown.
Remove the cooked mushrooms and repeat with remaining butter and raw mushrooms until complete.
Return all cooked mushrooms to pan. Add garlic and thyme, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add flour and cook for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
Stir in wine, then reduce by half.
Add stock/broth, stirring to incorporate. Simmer until thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, pepper and more thyme to taste.
Serve with turkey, chicken, steak, mashed potatoes, or french fries with cheese curds for poutine. Enjoy!

Notes

To serve with turkey, chicken or other poultry, use white wine and chicken or vegetable broth.
To serve with steak or other red meat, use red wine and beef broth.
To serve for a vegetarian meal, use vegetable stock. Feel free to substitute vegan butter for a vegan gravy.
Can be made up to a week in advance if kept in the refrigerator. If serving with meat, use pan drippings, fond and any giblets you prefer to stir in while reheating.
