What are sausage biscuits made of?

Sausage biscuits consist of two main components: seasoned sausage patties and biscuits. The sausage patties are typically made from ground meat (traditionally pork, though our recipe uses turkey) mixed with herbs and spices like sage, thyme, garlic, and black pepper. The biscuits are made from flour, fat (butter, shortening, or a combination), a leavening agent like baking powder, and a liquid such as milk, buttermilk, or in our healthier version, Greek yogurt.

How do you make homemade sausage biscuits from scratch?

To make sausage biscuits from scratch, first prepare seasoned sausage patties by combining ground meat with spices, forming into patties, and cooking until done. For the biscuits, mix dry ingredients, cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add your liquid ingredient to form a dough. Cut out biscuits, bake until golden, then split and sandwich the sausage patties between them. For detailed instructions, follow our complete recipe above.

What kind of sausage is best for sausage biscuits?

While traditional breakfast sausage (usually made from pork) is commonly used, our healthier recipe features ground turkey sausage. The best sausage depends on your dietary preferences and taste. Turkey or chicken sausage provides a leaner option, while pork sausage offers a richer flavor. Whether using store-bought or making your own seasoned sausage, ensure it has classic breakfast seasonings like sage, thyme, and a touch of maple for that authentic breakfast flavor.

Can you make sausage biscuits ahead of time?

Absolutely! Sausage biscuits are perfect for meal prep. You can make the components separately and store them, or assemble the sandwiches completely. Fully assembled sausage biscuits can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months. For best results when making ahead, slightly undercook the sausage patties so they don't become dry when reheated.

How do you keep sausage biscuits warm and soft?

To keep sausage biscuits warm and soft for serving, wrap them in aluminum foil and place in a 200°F oven. For potlucks or brunches, use a slow cooker set to the "warm" setting with a clean kitchen towel lining the bottom to absorb excess moisture. You can also wrap stacks of biscuits in a clean kitchen towel inside an insulated container. For individual servings, wrap each sandwich in parchment paper, which helps retain heat while allowing enough breathability to prevent sogginess.

Can sausage biscuits be frozen and reheated?

Yes, sausage biscuits freeze and reheat beautifully. Assemble the sandwiches (or freeze components separately), wrap individually in aluminum foil or freezer paper, and store in freezer bags for up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 1-1.5 minutes, or heat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes. For best texture, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb. ground turkey sausage – I used Jennie-O
2 tsp poultry seasonings
1/2 tsp each: salt & garlic powder
1/4 tsp each: pepper paprika & red pepper flakes
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
2 Tbsp granular sweetener or sugar (24g)

1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp unsalted butter (30g) cold
1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt (227g)
1 egg for wash
Condiments of choice yellow mustard, mayo, etc, for serving

Instructions

Mix spices in a bowl, then work into turkey sausage until evenly distributed. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes for flavors to develop.
Divide turkey into 10 patties, flatten to 1/2-inch thickness (slightly smaller than desired size as they’ll expand during cooking).
Cook patties in a sprayed skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until no longer pink. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Cut cold butter into small pieces and incorporate into flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form.
Gradually mix in yogurt just until dough starts to form (do not overmix).
Transfer to floured surface and knead lightly about 10 times.
Shape into a disc and cut out 10 biscuits.
Brush with egg wash and bake 10-14 minutes until golden brown.
Split biscuits, add condiments if desired, place sausage patty inside, and serve.
