Sausage gravy is traditionally loaded with whole milk or cream, but it doesn't have to be! That's not an actual requirement. By using broth, a little white wine, and low fat or dairy free milk, the gravy is flavorful, rich, and smooth with less fat and calories. Then, I added some diced veggies to boost the nutritional content.

Now, gluten free bread can be tricky. I have found that drop biscuits are a bit easier because they don't need to be kneaded (haha...) So, they may not be the prettiest, but that is the nature of a drop biscuit anyway. If you added more flour, they would be too dry. No bueno.

Though typical recipes call for ground sausage, I used diced turkey sausage that already had cheese inside. This was not a carefully curated plan, it's just what I found in the freezer. Go with what you have. If you're not lucky enough to find this 2-for-1 in your freezer, you could add shredded cheese to the sauce. Also, since I used oat milk, my gravy is not very white. But, don't be fooled by the photos- it is still a creamy dish!

Ingredients for Gluten Free Drop Biscuits

Gluten Free Flour Blend: I recommend using at least two different flours. I used oat, almond, and tapioca flour.

Corn Starch: This adds some structure to these biscuits.

Buttermilk Powder: I started using this when I was creating my gluten free soft pretzels. For dairy free, try coconut milk powder.

Xanthan Gum: Without gluten, this helps to add a bit of elasticity to the dough.

Salt

Brown Sugar

Butter: The French have long said that the secret to baking is butter, butter, and more butter. Plant butter would also work. I haven't tried coconut oil, but maybe that will be my next venture.

Milk
