Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Turkey Sausage Gravy

1. In a large skillet, cook turkey sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
2. Push sausage to one side of the pan and melt butter on the other.
3. Sprinkle flour over the butter and whisk for 1 minute to make a roux.
4. Slowly stir in milk and chicken broth, combining with the sausage.
5. Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
7. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
8. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
9. Stir in buttermilk just until combined—don’t overmix.
10. Turn out onto a floured surface, gently knead 2–3 times, and pat into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
11. Cut into 9–12 small biscuits using a round cutter or knife.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie
12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
13. Pour the sausage gravy into a greased 9×13 or deep pie dish.
14. Arrange biscuit dough evenly over the top.
15. Optionally brush biscuits with a little milk or melted butter for a golden finish.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden
16. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
17. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Biscuit Pie
Keep the Butter Cold – Cold butter creates fluffy, flaky biscuits.
Don’t Overwork the Dough – Handle it gently to avoid dense biscuits.
Pre-Cook the Sausage Fully – Helps lock in flavor and texture.
Use Buttermilk – For tangy, tender biscuits (or make your own).
Add Cheese – Stir in ½ cup shredded cheese for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit Salad – Brightens up the richness.
Steamed Greens – Such as spinach, kale, or green beans.
Eggs Any Style – Scrambled or poached eggs on the side.
Maple Syrup Drizzle – A Southern-inspired sweet-and-savory twist.
Sweet Tea or Coffee – Completes the brunch or breakfast-for-dinner vibe.
