Hello there FitFeat friends! I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I know we did! I’ll write a separate post to recap our holiday, but wanted to put a recipe out for you vegetarians/vegans who would like to make a tweaked version of Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.
MSP loves the original recipe. Because it was so high in bad fats and flour, we only made it on a holiday, once or twice a year. I didn’t want to have to sit out on the fun, so this year I decided that I’d try to substitute some ingredients to make it something I would eat too.
SOYsage Gravy & Biscuits
- 1 tube of Gimme Lean non-meat ‘sausage’
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups almond milk (or soy, skim, whatever you drink)
- sea salt & black pepper to taste
- 6-8 biscuits of choice
If you are using biscuits that require oven time like we did, start those first as the rest goes really fast. Our biscuits took 9 minutes in the oven.
Brown the Gimme Lean in a pan sprayed with olive oil over medium heat, crumbling as you go. It gets easier to crumble the more it cooks.
Once the ‘sausage’ is fully browned, sprinkle the flour into the pan until the ‘sausage’ is well coated.
Add the first cup of almond or soy milk (still over medium heat) and stir well. The ‘sausage’ and flour will soak it up really quickly.
Add the second cup and continue to stir well. Now the gravy will really start to build. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring until warmed through and at a consistency you like. If you like a thin gravy, you’ll want to remove it pretty quickly and/or add more ‘milk’. If you like it thick, stir longer over the heat and you’ll find that it gets really thick really fast. 
My version was only 255 calories per serving (2 small biscuits of 50 calories each and 1/4 of the gravy). And it is FILLING! Enjoy!
