Mini Sausage Biscuits
Description
These Mini Sausage Biscuits include turkey sausage blended with poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional paprika and red pepper flakes. The mixture is chilled to meld flavors before shaping into small patties cooked on a skillet until no longer pink.
The biscuit dough is prepared separately by combining all-purpose flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt with cold butter cut into small pieces, then mixed with Greek yogurt to form a tender dough. The biscuits are baked until golden once shaped.
The cooked sausage patties are then sandwiched inside the warm biscuits for serving. Optional condiments like mustard or mayo complement these flavorful mini sandwiches. The recipe allows modifications for gluten-free or dairy-free options by substituting appropriate ingredients. Adjusting red pepper flakes modifies spice level without overwhelming heat.
Ingredients
Sausage:
- 1 lb. ground turkey sausage Jennie-O brand
- 2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt each
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder each
- 1/4 tsp black pepper paprika & red pepper flakes, each
Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 240g
- 2 Tbsp granular sweetener or sugar, 24g
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp butter cold, unsalted, 30g
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, nonfat, 227g
- 1 egg for wash
- Condiments of choice yellow mustard, mayo, etc, for serving
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
- Use gluten-free flour alternatives like King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill for gluten-free biscuits.
- Replace butter and Greek yogurt with dairy-free versions to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Red pepper flakes can be adjusted from none to half a teaspoon for personalized heat without excessive spiciness.
