Hash Brown Waffles + Turkey Sausage Gravy

Recipe by The Gourmet RD

It's the best breakfast ever! Just when I thought breakfast couldn't get any better, Hash Brown Waffles with Turkey Sausage Gravy shows up.  Well, it didn't just show up, I had to make it, but

Ingredients

• 1 lb Jennie-O All Natural Turkey Sausage
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups low fat milk
• coarse salt, ground black pepper (to taste)
• crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 4 cups frozen O’Brien hash brown potatoes (thawed)
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• ¼ tsp each ground black pepper and garlic powder
• 4 over-easy eggs
• handful of greens (sautéed or raw)

Method

1. Heat large skillet to medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
   
   Stir in flour and cook for about a minute. Whisk in low fat milk and bring to a simmer until thickened, about 4-6 minutes, stirring regularly.
   
   Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Heat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
   
   Coat generously with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine hash browns, eggs, cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
   
   Fill waffle iron with a layer of the hash brown mixture and close the lid. Cook 4-5 minutes, until hash brown is browned and crispy.
   
   Remove waffle with forks, then repeat the process with remaining hash brown mixture. Top waffles with fried eggs, turkey sausage gravy and greens.
