Directions to Follow
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange 5 oven-safe containers on a baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and place pieces from one biscuit into each container.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the turkey sausage until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside.
