Ingredients

• 2 cups White whole wheat flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
• 8 ounces Lean turkey sausage
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat buttermilk, and non-fat Greek yogurt to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the biscuit dough onto it. Gently pat the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Using a biscuit cutter or an upside-down glass, cut the dough into rounds.

Step 6

Place the biscuit rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the low-fat gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the lean turkey sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

Step 9

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the sausage is coated and the flour begins to brown slightly.

Step 10

Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Season the gravy with black pepper and onion powder. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Step 12

Serve the freshly baked biscuits with a generous ladle of turkey sausage gravy on top.
