My 21 Day Fix Sausage Gravy: A Quick and Healthy Breakfast Solution

Mornings are crazy, aren't they? Between getting the kids ready for school, packing lunches, and trying to sneak in a quick workout before work, finding time for a healthy and satisfying breakfast often feels impossible. I used to grab whatever was quickest – usually something processed and loaded with sugar – leaving me feeling sluggish and guilty by mid-morning. But then I discovered the 21 Day Fix, and my breakfast routine, along with my entire eating habits, completely changed. This 21 Day Fix Sausage Gravy recipe has become my go-to solution for a delicious and healthy start to the day. It's so quick to make, even on the busiest mornings, and my family loves it too!

This recipe isn't just about convenience. It's about making healthy choices that fuel my body and give me the energy I need to conquer the day. The ground turkey provides lean protein, while the almond milk and whole wheat flour add nutrients without weighing me down. And let's not forget the delicious blend of spices – sage, nutmeg, and fennel – that add a burst of flavor without the added sugars and saturated fats of traditional sausage gravy. The secret, really, is about finding healthy alternatives that don't compromise taste. This recipe is proof that eating well doesn't have to be complicated or boring. In fact, it can be quite the opposite.

I've always been a bit of a kitchen experimenter, and over the years, I've adapted this recipe to fit my ever-changing needs and preferences. Sometimes I add a little extra black pepper for a spicier kick, or I might substitute different spices depending on what I have on hand. The beauty of this recipe is its adaptability. You can easily customize it to your taste preferences, using whatever spices you have readily available. For instance, if you are not a fan of fennel seeds, feel free to omit them. The core ingredients remain the same, delivering a delicious and nutritious gravy every time.

This gravy is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for topping biscuits, toast, or even vegetables. I often serve it with a side of scrambled eggs or a simple salad for a complete and balanced breakfast. It's a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables into my kids' breakfast without them even noticing! The recipe also allows for easy batch cooking. I often prepare a double batch on the weekend and store it in the refrigerator for easy weekday mornings. This is a game-changer in our house; it takes the stress out of breakfast preparation, ensuring that we always start our days with a healthy and delicious meal.

Beyond the recipe itself, this 21 Day Fix Sausage Gravy represents something more to me: a commitment to prioritizing my health and well-being amidst the chaos of everyday life. It’s a reminder that even amidst a busy schedule, making time for myself and my family to eat wholesome foods is crucial. It's not just about sustenance; it's about creating nourishing and happy moments around the breakfast table. It's a small act of self-care that pays off in big ways, both physically and emotionally. And it’s a recipe that I am more than happy to share with you all. Hopefully, it will simplify your mornings as much as it has mine.

Step-by-step

• To the ground turkey, add the next 7 ingredients (through nutmeg) and thoroughly mix together.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil to medium-high heat, then brown the turkey mixture until full cooked through, breaking it up into little pieces with your spatula as it cooks.
• Once the turkey is fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over it, mix the flour with the turkey in the pan and cook for a minute or two to cook the flour some.
• Next, whisk in your almond milk and let it come to a bubble to thicken. Every few minutes, give it a whisk to distribute the flour and keep it from sticking or burning. Once the liquid has thickened (note: it will continue to thicken some as it cools), check your seasoning, you'll likely need a bit more black pepper, add as needed.
