Ingredients

1 pound natural pork breakfast sausage* (turkey breakfast sausage will work here as well)
3 ½ cups full fat coconut milk (I used Embe organic coconut milk for this recipe)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ - 1 teaspoon all purpose cajun spice
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
Salt or smoked salt to taste
Optional: red chili flakes

Instructions

Preheat a large and deep skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
Add the breakfast sausage to the pan, and break up and cook until it is browned and cooked through. You can drain off any excess oil or fat at this point if your sausage has a lot of fat.

Once the sausage is fully cooked, add 3 cups of the coconut milk to the pan along with the cajun/creole spice and the black pepper and stir. Leave out the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk and add to a small bowl and set aside.
3 ½ cups full fat coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 - 1 teaspoon all purpose cajun spice
Bring the sausage and coconut milk mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat a little bit to medium-low.
Whisk the cornstarch into the 1/2 cup of coconut milk that's been set aside. Add this cornstarch slurry to the pan and stir.
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
Allow the sausage gravy to continue to cook and thicken, stirring frequently to prevent lumps or scorching. We found 2 Tablespoons sufficient to thicken this to our liking, but you can add an additional tablespoon if you want super thick gravy.
Once this is done cooking, turn off the heat and allow to cool a little bit for serving. Taste test the gravy and add salt to taste depending on how salty the sausage is (you may not need to add any). Add chili flakes as well if you want additional spice.
Salt or smoked salt to taste, Optional: red chili flakes
Serve over your favorite gluten free biscuits.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
