Why You Will Love This Recipe

One serving of this biscuits and gravy has 26 grams of protein. That's 1 biscuit and ¼ cup of gravy.

The biscuits were made with the famous 2 ingredient Dough and the recipe made about 8 biscuits. If you don't like your biscuits really tiny and thin, then just roll them out thicker. Please note, the points value will be different then. Just use your recipe builder to figure out points.

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.
