How This Recipe Comes Together

Making these Meal Prep High Protein Biscuits & Gravy Bowls is a straightforward process that flows beautifully from mixing ingredients to baking and serving. You’ll start by preparing the hearty biscuits, which bake into golden perfection. While they’re doing their magic in the oven, you’ll whip up a delicious turkey sausage gravy on the stovetop. The final touch is topping those fluffy biscuits with the savory gravy, creating a delightful dish that’s ready to enjoy.

What You’ll Need

Gather These Items
Here’s everything you’ll need to bring this delicious meal to life:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 pound turkey sausage
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For those looking for alternatives: you can substitute whole wheat flour with a gluten-free blend or use buttermilk instead of almond milk for creaminess.

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt and almond milk until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 inch thick. Cut into biscuits of your preferred size and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
5. While the biscuits are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown the turkey sausage until fully cooked.
6. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch with chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir continuously, allowing the gravy to thicken.
7. When the biscuits are ready, serve them warm topped with the hearty sausage gravy.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serving Suggestions
These dishes are perfect on their own, but here are a few creative ideas to elevate your experience:

• Pair with sautéed greens like kale or spinach for added nutrients.
• Serve with a side of fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal.
• For a bit of spice, add a splash of hot sauce or mix in some sautéed jalapeños.

How to Store

Keeping Leftovers Fresh
If you happen to have leftovers—though they may be scarce!—store them in airtight food storage containers. The biscuits and gravy can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about five minutes, and warm the gravy gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing, particularly the Greek yogurt and almond milk.
• If you want to save time, consider preparing the biscuits ahead of time. You can even freeze the unbaked biscuits for up to a month and bake them fresh when you need them.
• For added flavor, try using different herbs or cheese in the biscuit dough.
