Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy

I wanted to make something special at Thanksgiving for a member of our family that is vegetarian. The gravy is poured over a veggie style empanada that is filled with sautéed butternut squash, onions, mushrooms, green beans, brussel sprouts and baked in puff pastry. I didnt say it was low fat!!!
