Deliciously savory, Turkey Sausage Breakfast Gravy is lighter and made 100% in a home kitchen! Kitchen-made turkey sausage is made by combining lean ground turkey with a few herbs and spices. It is then browned before being turned into a thick gravy and served over biscuits!

One of our most regular weekend breakfasts is biscuits smothered in sausage gravy. A regular here it because it’s so simple, short to prepare and the go-to comfort food.

I first made a version of turkey sausage gravy using store-bought turkey breakfast sausage and I truly didn’t care for the flavor and the texture was a little off. Early last month, when I couldn’t find any pork breakfast sausage at the store, I remembered this turkey sausage post. I came up with the idea to make a bulk sausage version and then turn it into sausage gravy.

Needless to say, I’ve made this 3 times since that day.

It’s so good! And in my opinion, tastes the same as long-used sausage gravy, with less the fat and calories. I serve it over greek yogurt biscuits (with a fried egg on the side) and the rest is history.

To cook this Turkey Sausage Breakfast Gravy Gather:

ground turkey (93% lean)
kosher salt
rubbed sage
ground black pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
red pepper flakes
unbleached all-purpose flour
milk (2%, whole or half &half)
greek yogurt biscuits

In a mixing bowl, add 1 pound ground turkey, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage, 1/2 teaspoon each ground black pepper, onion and garlic powder, plus 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes – more or less to personal taste.

Use a fork and mix until combined and the spices are throughout.

Heat a large skillet with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the turkey sausage and heat on medium-high. Use a wooden spatula to break up the meat into small crumbles.

Cook until no longer pink, the liquids should evaporate and the turkey should be browned.

Add 3 tablespoons of unbleached all-purpose flour.

Stir and continue to cook until the flour is absorbed into the turkey sausage.

Pour in 2 cups milk, increase the heat to high.

Season with lots of ground black pepper and simmer until thickened.

Once the gravy has thickened, taste and season with salt to your liking.

That’s it!
