buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

ground sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage is lower in fat.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in buttermilk until just combined; do not overmix.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times.

Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits with a round cutter.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes.

While biscuits are baking, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

Add flour to the sausage and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in milk, stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

Season gravy with black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Remove biscuits from the oven and split them open.

Spoon sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and garnish with fresh parsley.
