Ingredients You Will Need

– Fat-Free Fairlife Milk – 1 ¼ cups: Keeps calorie count low without sacrificing creamy texture. Dairy milk thickens gravy best, but almond or soy milk can be swapped – increase flour slightly if using plant-based.
– Seasoning: Salt 1 tsp, pepper 1/2 tsp, garlic powder 1/4 tsp. Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for spicy kick.
– Liquid Egg Whites – 1 ¼ cups: Protein-packed base.
– Large Eggs – 2 whole eggs: Adds richness to egg base.

How To Make High Protein Biscuits & Gravy Bowls – Step by Step

Step 1: Prep Oven and Containers

Preheat oven to 350°F. Select five oven-safe glass containers and lightly spray with cooking spray for easy cleanup and serving.

Step 2: Prepare The Biscuits

Take your five jumbo biscuits and cut each one into four even quarters. Place pieces from one full biscuit into each of five prepared containers, spreading evenly at bottom.

Step 3: Brown The Turkey Sausage – Flavor Base!

Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking into crumbles. Drain any excess fat, remove sausage and set aside. To save time, you can cook sausage night before!

Step 4: Create The Creamy Gravy Base

Using same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until thick paste (roux) forms. Gradually whisk in milk two tablespoons at a time, continuing to stir until mixture is smooth and thickened into classic gravy texture. If gravy gets too thick, whisk in splash more milk until desired consistency.

Step 5: Season and Assemble

Remove gravy from heat. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cooked turkey sausage.

In separate bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, pinch salt and pepper until combined. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even bake.

Step 6: Bake The Bowls

Pour egg mixture evenly over biscuit pieces in each container. Top each bowl with equal portion of sausage gravy, spreading to cover.

Bake for 30 minutes until eggs are completely set and biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 7: Cool Before Sealing – Keep Biscuits From Getting Soggy!

Let bowls cool completely before snapping on lids. This prevents condensation and soggy biscuits. Very important for meal prep!
