When my father had to go on a heart-healthy diet, he begged me to make a gravy that he can eat within his new diet restrictions. He can't stand how flavorless store-bought gravy can be, so i started to experiment. This recipe is the final result. Please enjoy!

Heat oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
