- 2 tablespoons Low-fat margarine
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the low-fat margarine over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted margarine, stirring constantly to form a smooth roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the roux is golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, then slowly add the skim milk, whisking to combine. This helps to build a creamy consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, black pepper, and salt.
Step 6
Continue to simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Serve warm over mashed potatoes, chicken, or your favorite hearty dish.
