Notes
- You can use more or less milk to reach the desired consistency.
- We love the flavor of pork sausage, but you can substitute turkey sausage in this recipe. You may need to add extra butter or bacon grease if using a lean sausage.
- Store leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
