Homemade Sausage Gravy

Love Breakfast?  Me too....not everyone can make good homemade gravy.  Who doesn't love Biscuits (see previous recipe)  and a good ole sausage gravy?  I know I do.  On occasion, we will even have breakfast for dinner.  Now with this recipe you can use a good quality turkey sausage, or regular pork sausage.  The turkey sausage cuts down on the fat.  Here is my recipe for:

Homemade Sausage Gravy

Pork or Turkey Sausage (1 roll)
2 to 3 heaping Tbsp. Flour
1 can Evaporated milk
2 cups water
1 cup regular milk (I use whole milk)
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper


Fry sausage in skillet, chopping into small pieces.  Cook sausage until completely done.  You should have enough sausage grease in the pan to make a good gravy.  Warning, with Turkey Sausage, you will probably need to add a little oil to the pan because doesn't leave as much drippings as pork sausage.

While sausage is frying, combine the Evaporated milk, whole milk and water, salt and pepper and set aside.

Add 2 Heaping Tbsp. flour and stir well.  Drippings should become thick like a paste consistency.  If they do not seem thick enough, add another heaping Tbsp. flour.  Stir until combined well and continue to stir for about 3 minutes until drippings are browning a little.  Immediately pour in the milk mixture and stir continuously until the gravy thickens.  Serve!

So, what do I do if my gravy doesn't thicken?  Easy solution:  Mix 1/8 cup water with 1 heaping Tbsp. Cornstarch and pour in.  Continue to stir until gravy thickens.

Serve with piping hot fresh made biscuits.
