How to Make Turkey Sausage Biscuits and Gravy?

For the biscuits

1. First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and put a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray.
2. Get a big bowl and mix some flour, baking powder, and a little bit of salt.
3. Put in some cold butter that’s cut into small pieces. You can use a special tool or your fingers to make it all crumbly.
4. Slowly pour in some cold buttermilk and stir until it’s just mixed.
5. Put the dough on a clean table and gently press and squish it until it’s smooth. Then make it into a big circle that’s about as thick as your thumb.
6. Use a special cookie cutter to make biscuit shapes and put them on the tray.
7. Put the tray in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes until they look golden and yummy.

Tips

• Make sure your butter and buttermilk are cold when making the biscuit dough.
• When mixing the biscuit dough, just stir until everything is combined. Overmixing can make your biscuits tough.
• Before cutting out your biscuits, dip your cutter in flour.
• When adding flour and milk to make the gravy, add them gradually while stirring constantly.

Recipe Variations?

• Spicy Sauce: If you like spicy food like I do, try adding some hot sauce to your gravy.
• Sweet Honey: Want something sweet? Add some honey over your biscuits before you put the gravy on top. Or even add honey to the mixture.
• Broccoli: It might sound strange, but some people like to use broccoli instead of sausage. Just chop up some broccoli and mix it into the gravy. this is a great choice for vegetarian people.
• Cheesy: Always extra cheese means extra taste, Sprinkle some shredded cheese on your biscuits before you pour on the gravy. When it melts, it makes everything extra creamy and delicious.
