Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and crumble with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer the sausage crumbles to a plate.
Place the empty skillet back on the stove and melt the butter. Add the flour a couple tablespoons at a time - wait until the flour is incorporated before adding more. Keep whisking until the roux is smooth, bubbly and slightly browned. Whisk in the dry seasonings.
Slowly pour in the broth a little at a time, whisking continuously.** Once the broth is fully incorporated, stir in the reserved sausage. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Turn the heat to low, stirring frequently until ready to serve.

Notes
*FOR THE BROTH: I used vegan chicken bouillon mixed with water to make my broth. If you do the same, I would not follow the ratio the package instructions give of water to bouillon - it will be too salty with the addition of the sausage. I recommend doing about 1/2 the amount of bouillon - you can always add more bouillon to the gravy if it needs it.**You may want to add more water/broth to the gravy depending on your preferred texture. The gravy will also thicken as it sits, so you can thin it before serving if needed.
