If you are dairy free, use regular almond milk and a dairy free greek yogurt like Daiya.
Ingredients Needed
For the Gravy:
- Light butter or margarine - Such as I Can't Believe it's Not Butter - Helps keep the calories low.
- Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles - I like these because they are pretty low in points.
- Flour - for thickening the gravy
- Milk - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
- Black pepper-
- Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. Some people do not like the taste of freshly chopped onion so onion powder is a great substitute if you have a picky eater like that in your house.
For the Biscuits:
- Non fat plain greek yogurt - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
- Self-rising flour is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to Make Biscuits and Gravy
Step 1: In a bowl, mix the flour and greek yogurt together until a ball of dough forms. Place the dough onto a floured workspace on your countertop and need the dough.
Step 2: Using a biscuit cutter, cut out 8 equal biscuits and place them on a sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Recipe Tip: If you don't have a biscuit cutter just cut the dough into 4 equal portions using a bench cutter or knife.
Step 3: While the biscuits are baking in the oven, make the gravy. In a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the already cooked sausage to the pan and stir until the sausage is warmed up. Add in the flour and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes or until the flour has completely dissolved. Next, add the 2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer and add the spices.
Recipe Tip: The sauce will be ready when you can run your finger along the back of the spoon and it leaves a clear lining.
