Sausage Gravy is a Southern Classic, but not the most point friendly breakfast dish. For one, sausage gravy is paired with biscuits for biscuits and gravy. Furthermore, lean or healthy sausage is not always the best option when making sausage gravy, which is another issue. At least, until this recipe for turkey sausage and gravy with homemade biscuits.

Turkey Biscuits and Gravy: A Southern Classic
This recipe for Turkey Biscuits and Gravy is a delicious and easy way to make a classic Southern breakfast. The biscuits are light and fluffy, and the gravy is creamy and flavorful. This is a great recipe for a weekend brunch or a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups self-rising flour, divided
- 2 tbsp butter cold chopped into pea-sized cubes
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt Fage 0%
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup preferred milk, unsweetened*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine 2 c self-rising flour, butter, yogurt, baking powder, and cashew milk. The key to good biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible and to keep the ingredients cold. If you think ahead, you can chop up the butter and freeze it the night before. Use a spoon, not the mixer to mix the dough.
- The dough will be shaggy. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c of flour onto a cutting board. Pat the dough down into a 1/2″ rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat down to 1/2″ thickness again. Repeat this process FIVE TIMES. It makes it flaky. The final rectangle should be about 3/4″ thick–don’t worry, it’ll rise.
- Cut the biscuits using into 8 rectangles for sandwiches or use a 2 5/8″ biscuit cutter (or whatever size you have OR use a glass cup) for smaller biscuits. It is very important not to twist the cutter–just press all the way down. Twisting will seal the edges of the dough and make them not rise.
- Once you get the biscuits cut, spray a cast iron pan or baking sheet with cooking spray. Place biscuits about 1″ apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray and bake for 10-12 minutes at 450. Start checking the biscuits at about 8 minutes. Pull them out when they are golden brown.
Tips
- You can use most milk for this recipe. The nutritional information uses cashew milk.
- I do, however, recommend using Fage because of its consistency.
- Nutritional Information below is for sandwich sized biscuits (cut into 8 rectangles).
- You can make smaller, round biscuits and get 13 using a 2 5/8″ biscuit cutter (or glass cup) and get 13.

This Weight Watchers Biscuits and Gravy is the best way to start your morning
Sausage Gravy is actually really simple to whip up without any of those store bought powders or seasoning mixes. For my sausage gravy, I used 1 lb of Wegmans Breakfast turkey sausage (1 WW SP and oz. on Blue and Purple)–one of those logs of loose, raw sausage.
Apply a small amount of cooking spray to a pan and brown the sausage in the same way that you would ground meat. Next, sprinkle in the flour and cook until the flour absorbs into the turkey.
Next, carefully stir in the cashew milk (or your other favorite milk), being careful to scrape up all of the flour from the pan’s bottom. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and allow it to thicken up.
Sausage Gravy and Biscuits is the ultimate way to start your day… slowly
The seasonings are based on your flavor preference. Traditional southern sausage gravy boasts lots of pepper and that’s about it. To make mine a little sweeter, I like to add some maple syrup and hot sauce. I feel like the hot sauce adds a subtle, lingering kick that makes it taste better than just black pepper.
Taste as you go, but mine is pretty scrumptious. If you’d rather, you can use sugar-free pure maple syrup instead of the latter, but I like the real thing better, so the extra points are fine. To each their own.
Fact: Youll be saying yall by the end of this meal
If you are making my light biscuits with this sausage gravy, make the biscuits first. In the time it takes for the biscuits to bake, you can prepare this sausage gravy. When the biscuits are done, divide one or two of them with a fork, arrange them, and then drizzle some gravy over them.
Below is a video showing how I make the biscuits. If you are cooking both in one morning, start the biscuits first. Once they are in the oven, start your turkey sausage gravy. You’ll have fresh biscuits ready to eat by the end because the biscuits cook in about 12 minutes and the sausage gravy only takes 15 minutes.
Southern Eggs Benedict is the ultimate brunch (or hangover) food
Even though biscuits and gravy are incredibly tasty and satisfying on their own, you can go above and beyond, just like I do, and top them with fried chicken and an egg. I was first introduced to the incredible combination of biscuits and gravy with fried chicken and egg at a local diner in Philadelphia. Man, is that good.
I make this amazing breakfast for dinner for only 9 points using some leftover air-fried chicken that I reheated in my air fryer for about 6 minutes at 360 degrees. I’m not going to tell you how to live your best life, but this is it. This would be my last meal.
My take on a Southern Eggs Benedict is only 9sp and will change your life.
