Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.75 cup Skim milk
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 lb Reduced-fat turkey sausage
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt.
Add 0.75 cup of skim milk and 0.5 cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into biscuits using a cutter or a floured glass.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
While biscuits are baking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 0.5 lb of reduced-fat turkey sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1 small finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the sausage. Cook until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour over the sausage mixture and stir well to coat.
Gradually add 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 cup of skim milk to the skillet, stirring constantly to form a smooth gravy.
Add 0.5 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp of chopped parsley. Simmer the gravy for 5 minutes until thickened.
Serve the biscuits warm, halved, and topped with a generous portion of the sausage gravy.
