Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.

It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise.

The gravy itself for this pot pie is rather easy to make and is super tasty, and I’ve made a handful of gravy in the past. This one though is particularly good and also simple. If you aren’t a fan of turkey sausage, you could also use a reduced fat pork sausage or really any breakfast sausage that you do enjoy. You’ll just need to adjust the nutritional count accordingly.

Good stuff, either way!
