What You’ll Need
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup cornstarch

Directions to Follow
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt and almond milk until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
