biscuits n gravy replacement

[scruffy]

just wanted you all to know...

the other week i had promised a "friend" i'd make her biscuits and gravy in the morning. realized i was out of ground hot italian sausage, what i usually use. rather than a trip to town, i thawed out some ground turkey. threw in some fennel, cayanne pepper, and course ground black pepper. couldn't tell the difference! so there's a good substitution if your looking to lower your cholesterol or just in a pinch.

sounds good

do you make your gravy as a "white sauce" from scratch or used the canned gravy or the package mix ?

pops:

i make the gravy from scratch. super easy. just brown your sausage or whatever meat, add about 3 heaping tblspns of flour (leave grease in..) and mix well into the ground meat. keep on med/low heat, then slowly add in some milk until you reach desired thickness. if it gets too thin, just add a little more flour. that's all there is too it. and if you have leftovers, put in fridge. will kind of congeal overnite, so just add a bit more milk when you reheat it.

i make the biscuits from scratch too, but bisquick is pretty dang good too.

good luck...
