Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Turkey Sausage Gravy

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until fully browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
2. Once browned, push the sausage to one side of the skillet and add the butter. Let it melt completely.
3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine with the butter. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Reduce heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Add in the cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
5. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out 6–8 biscuits. Reroll scraps if needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pour the turkey sausage gravy into a 9×13-inch baking dish or ovenproof skillet, spreading it evenly.
3. Place the cut biscuits on top of the gravy, slightly overlapping if needed.
4. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuit Pie

1. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
2. If the tops are browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 5–10 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

1. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
2. Serve warm, straight from the dish, and enjoy every creamy, buttery bite.

Tips for Success
Keep Butter Cold – Cold butter is key to flaky, tender biscuits.
Don’t Overwork the Dough – Mix just until the dough comes together.
Adjust Seasoning – Taste the gravy before baking and adjust salt or spice as needed.
Make Ahead – You can prepare the gravy and biscuit dough the night before, refrigerate separately, then assemble and bake fresh.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a simple green salad for balance.
• Add scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables on the side for a brunch spread.
• Pair with a fruit salad or fresh berries for a hint of sweetness.

Reheating:
