Cozy Turkey Gravy Drenched Biscuits
Delicious biscuits topped with rich turkey gravy.
Ingredients
- 2.0 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.0 tablespoon baking powder
- 1.0 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1.0 cups buttermilk
- 2.0 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups onion, finely chopped
- 2.0 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.0 cups turkey broth
- 1.0 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1.0 teaspoon dried thyme or sage
- 1.0 to taste salt
- 1.0 to taste pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times until it holds together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the turkey broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, stirring occasionally.
- Once the gravy has thickened, add the cooked turkey and season with salt, pepper, and thyme or sage if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Split the warm biscuits in half and generously drizzle or spoon the turkey gravy over the tops.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix the biscuit dough for a flaky texture.
