Today’s Menu: Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Sausage Links
To start this morning off I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Dark and gloomy day out there today. 47 degrees, cloudy and rain all day! After my Tea I headed to Meijer before the heavier rains came in around 10:00 this morning. I got to Meijer about 7:10 this morning and by the time I left it was crowded. Mom needed some things for Thanksgiving so I got everything she wanted and a few items for me. A couple of people that work at Meijer told me It’s a good thing I came in now because they are having trouble getting items in. They had no Paper Towel, Toilet Paper, or cleaning products. Here we go again! So Breakfast sure sounded good this rainy day, so Breakfast it is! For Dinner tonight, Breakfast! I’m having Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Sausage Links. I love Biscuits and Gravy!
I love Gravy! To make the Gravy I’m using a packet of my favorite Gravy, Pioneer Peppered Gravy Mix. So easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! To prepare it I get a small sauce pan and give it a light spray of Pam non Stick Cooking Spray w/ Olive Oil. I add a 1 1/2 cups of Cold Water to the pan and heat it on high to a rolling boil. As that is heating up I preheated the oven for the Pillsbury Biscuits and I mixed the Gravy. In a measuring cup I added a 1/2 cup of Cold Water and then added the Gravy Mix to the Water and stirred until it smooth. When the Water was boiling I added the Gravy Mix. Turned down the heat a notch or two and started stirring the Mix and Water. Continued stirring until it started to thicken. Removed it from the heat and continued to stir it for about 30 seconds. I put the lid on the sauce pan and set it aside until I was ready to use it.
Time to bake the Pillsbury Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits! Took a small baking pan and sprayed a light coat of the Pam Cooking Spray on it. Added the Biscuits and popped the pan in the oven. I’m baking them 400ᵒ F for 10 minutes. And as all Pillsbury Biscuits, they came out perfect. Flaky, hot, and ready to serve. Put the Biscuits on a paper towel lined plate and covered them with a towel until ready to use.
So as the Biscuits were baking I fried my Johnsonville Fresh Turkey Original Breakfast Sausage. I came across a package of these in the freezer. I laid the package in the fridge overnight to thaw. I love these Breakfast Links that Johnsonville has come out with! To prepare them I coated a skillet with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heat the skillet to medium-low. Added the Sausage and cooked for 11 minutes, turning often, until the Sausage was browned. They cook up perfect and are delicious.
To serve everything, I got a bowl and added 2 Biscuits, topped them with the Gravy, and added a couple of the Sausage Links. Then chowed down! Everything is so good. Breakfast for Dinner is fantastic! For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Mini Pretzels with a Sprite Zero to drink.
