Starting your day with a breakfast that fuels your body without weighing you down can be a challenge. Many traditional breakfast options are loaded with carbs and unhealthy fats, leaving you sluggish before noon. This recipe for low carb high protein, high fiber turkey sausage biscuits offers a perfect balance. It combines lean turkey, fiber-rich flours, and wholesome ingredients to create a satisfying meal that supports energy and wellness.


Why Choose Low Carb High Protein Breakfasts?


Eating a breakfast rich in protein and fiber helps control hunger and maintain steady blood sugar levels. Protein supports muscle health and repair, while fiber promotes digestion and keeps you feeling full longer. This combination is especially beneficial for those managing weight, diabetes, or simply aiming for sustained energy throughout the morning.


Homemade turkey sausage is a lean protein source that adds flavor without excess fat. Using lupini and almond flours instead of traditional wheat flour, or gluten free measure for measure flour, lowers the carbohydrate content and boosts fiber intake. These flours also provide a unique texture and nutty taste that complements the savory sausage.

Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients and their roles:


  • 1 lb Ground turkey (93% lean): Provides lean protein with minimal fat.

  • 1 medium Onion and 1 bell pepper: Add moisture, flavor, and nutrients.

  • About a 1/2 teaspoon of each Fennel seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper measure: Create a flavorful sausage seasoning blend.

  • 1 1/2 cups Lupini flour: High in fiber and protein, low in carbs, helps form the biscuit dough.

  • 1/2 cup Almond flour: Adds healthy fats, fiber, and a tender crumb.

How to Prepare the Turkey Sausage Biscuits


Follow these steps for a delicious and nutritious breakfast:


  1. Cook the sausage mixture:

    • Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.

    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey with onion, bell pepper, fennel seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.


  2. Prepare the biscuit dough:

    • In a large bowl, combine lupini flour, almond flour, and baking powder.

    • In another bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese.

    • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

    • Fold in the cooked turkey sausage mixture evenly.


    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    • Divide and scoop the dough onto the sheet, shaping into biscuit-sized rounds. Make about 6-8 depending on how large a serving you want. Today I did 6 biscuits.

    • Optionally, sprinkle grated parmesan on top for extra flavor.

    • Bake for 20-30 (depending on the size you make your biscuites) minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. Shape and bake:

    Set a timer and check on them after 20 minutes. Mind today were larger and it took them almost 30 minutes to get colden brown.


  4. Serve warm or cooled:

    • These biscuits are delicious on their own or can be used as a vessel for a yummy breakfast sandwich. Can be eaten warm, room temperature, or cool. Store in a container or wrap individually in parchment paper and then wrap in cling wrap. To reheat, unwrap from cling wrap, and pop in the microwave for about 30 seconds. These could also be toasted in the oven, airfryer, or toaster.


Tips for Success and Variations


  • Adjust spice levels: Add more crushed red pepper flakes if you like a spicier biscuit.

  • Add herbs: Fresh parsley or chives mixed into the dough can brighten the flavor.
