Ingredients

1 lb. turkey breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all purpose flour (28g)
1/8 tsp dried sage
2 cups whole milk (480g)
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the sausage to a greased skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking into crumbles with a meat masher, until fully cooked. Sprinkle the flour and sage over top. Stir until all the meat is coated and you see no flour. Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Gradually add one cup of milk while mixing everything thoroughly, then incorporate the second cup of milk. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Season generously with salt and fresh ground pepper (I added about 1/4 tsp each). Continue to stir frequently until thickened, then remove from heat.
Serve sausage gravy hot with biscuits, hash browns, whatever sounds good and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gravy in a small saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat. They gravy will thicken as it sits in the fridge so I like to add a little milk when reheating to get the right consistency.

You can also freeze this gravy. To freeze, let cool completely then store in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let gravy thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat.
