In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat (if using drippings, just add melted drippings to skillet). Add flour and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until mixture becomes light to medium golden brown, whisking constantly.
While whisking, slowly add broth or non-fatty drippings until all liquid is incorporated. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until gravy is thickened.
If gravy is too thick, whisk in a bit more broth or water. If gravy is too thin, cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until desired consistency is achieved.
Reduce heat to low. Add lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
