You can thicken broth, so yes. 

You could use any kind of meat to get some brown bits, though.  Sprinkle some chicken pieces with a bit of flour and seasoning and then brown, and then deglaze the pan.   You could even freeze it for later.

I want to become a gravy master. Gravy is my Achilles heel, I swear. I made the BEST turkey on Saturday, even the white meat was crazy moist. I was really happy with how it came out. My gravy was mediocre, though.

It is possible that I had a glass of wine or two before starting the gravy, though, and gave fewer fucks.

I'll be sure to cook some chicken this week so I can do this. Thanks!

Yep, stock works for gravy.

BA-- what sort of gravy problems are you having? I have taught many people to make gravy over the years. Maybe I can help.
