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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 6

While biscuits are baking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add 1 small finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the sausage. Cook until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour over the sausage mixture and stir well to coat.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve the biscuits warm, halved, and topped with a generous portion of the sausage gravy.
