Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz) package stuffing mix (herb, cornbread, or savory variety)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 egg
- ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Add-ins
- ½ cup cooked, crumbled sausage
- ½ cup cooked turkey (diced or shredded)
- ¼ cup finely chopped apple
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or sage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the biscuits.
- Soften Stuffing Mix: In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken or vegetable broth. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the stuffing absorbs the liquid and softens to a moist texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. This creates the dry batter base for the biscuits.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
- Form Biscuit Dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently to form a batter. Fold in the softened stuffing mixture along with any optional add-ins like cooked sausage, turkey, apple, and fresh herbs until evenly incorporated.
- Arrange and Bake: Spoon the biscuit dough evenly into the prepared muffin cups or drop rounded mounds onto a baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, gravy, or alongside dishes like apple-stuffed turkey for a delicious savory side.
Notes
- Feel free to swap chicken broth with vegetable broth to make the recipe vegetarian-friendly.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt and use oil instead of butter.
- Adding the finely chopped apple adds a subtle sweetness that balances the savory flavors nicely.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or sage for a bright, aromatic flavor that complements the stuffing mix.
- These biscuits freeze well; store cooled biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 month and reheat before serving.
- You can customize the meat add-ins based on preference or availability, such as using cooked bacon or ham.
