Description
Fluffy homemade biscuits topped with creamy, peppery gravy made with turkey sausage – this biscuits and gravy combination is perfect for weekend mornings.
Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold milk
For the Gravy:
- 1 pound ground turkey breakfast sausage.
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into flour mixture with fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces. Add cold milk and stir just until dough comes together.
- Pat dough into 3/4-inch thick rectangle on floured surface. Cut straight down with knife or biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet with sides barely touching.
- Bake biscuits for 15-17 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Meanwhile, cook turkey sausage in large skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking into bite-sized pieces as it browns.
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
- Slowly add milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer 4-6 minutes until gravy thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt to taste.
- Split warm biscuits and serve topped with creamy sausage gravy.
Notes
- Use turkey sausage for the best flavor.
- Keep butter and milk as cold as possible for the fluffiest biscuits.
- Gravy will continue to thicken as it sits – add more milk if needed.
- Leftover gravy keeps in refrigerator for 3 days and freezes for up to 2 months.
