Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey sausage
- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Place a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey sausage.
- Cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is completely browned and no pink remains. This should take approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage. Stir continuously to coat the sausage and prevent the flour from burning.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. The flour will help thicken the gravy as it heats.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
- Simmer the gravy, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired thickness. This typically takes 5-7 minutes. The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it with a little additional milk.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over biscuits, toast, or as a side dish.
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to ensure smooth thickening without graininess.
- Prevent Lumps: When adding flour and milk, stir continuously and add milk gradually to create a silky-smooth gravy.
- Control Consistency: If the gravy becomes too thick, don't panic! Simply thin it out with a little extra milk until you reach your desired texture.
- Season Wisely: Taste and adjust seasonings carefully. The optional garlic and onion powders can add depth, but start with small amounts.
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh ground turkey sausage for the best flavor and texture.
- Serving Suggestions: This gravy is incredibly versatile - try it over gluten-free biscuits, toast, or even as a topping for roasted vegetables.
- Make-Ahead Tip: While best served fresh, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat gently, adding a splash of milk if needed.
