Preparation

Step 1

Maple Sausage Prep:
In a bowl, lightly beat egg with oats, syrup and seasonings. Mix in turkey until combined. (If you're making these a day ahead, refrigerate turkey mixture until you are ready to cook.) Form into 8 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. In a large nonstick pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties until well browned on both sides and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve on halved biscuits, if desired.

Biscuits Prep:
Heat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Rub butter into flour with fingertips until butter pieces are coated and about the size of peas. Stir in buttermilk and yogurt until just combined. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured surface; very gently shape it into an 8"x 6" rectangle, being careful not to overwork dough. Cut into 12 square biscuits. Transfer biscuits to baking sheet; brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed and lightly golden, 15 minutes; serve.
