Instructions

For the sausage:

Whisk the spices together in a medium bowl first. Add the sausage and work the spices into the sausage until evenly mixed in. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or longer if time allows so the flavors come together more.
Divide the turkey mixture into 10 pieces and use your palms and fingers to shape into patties. Flatten to about 1/2-thickness (press them smaller than you want them to be because they will rise when cooked).
Set the skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add sausage patties and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Then transfer to a plate to rest.

For the biscuits:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes then add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into tiny pea-sized pieces. Then gradually mix in the yogurt with a spatula until you start to form dough (do not over-mix or the biscuits won’t get as fluffy! There should still be flour in the bowl).
Transfer the dough with the remaining flour to a clean surface and lightly knead about 10 times (again, don’t over mix). Shape the dough into an oval disc and use a biscuit cutter to cut out 10 small biscuits (or 6 large). Place on the baking sheet. Then brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash.
Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown to your liking. I took mine out right at 10 minutes when they were just starting to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with more butter - optional but recommended ;)

Assemble:

Cut the biscuits open, add some yellow mustard (or condiment of choice) then add the sausage and top with the other half of the biscuit. Serve with fruit or hashbrowns and enjoy!

Notes

To make gluten-free: use gluten-free flour like King Arthur’s and Bob’s Red Mill.
To make dairy-free: use dairy-free butter and dairy-free Greek yogurt.
*adding 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes doesn’t make this sausage spicy, just gives it a touch of heat. So if you want a little more spice, up it to 1/2 tsp. On the flip side, if you’re sensitive to spice you can take it down to 1/8 tsp or omit completely.
