1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (omit for higher fat meats like beef or pork)
3/4 lb ground meat of choice including: turkey, chicken, pork, beef, buffalo or wild game
¾ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon bulk poultry herbs or use: 1/2 teaspoon dried sage + 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

2 cups broth: Homemade Meat Stock, Bone Broth, or store bought Bone Broth (This powdered sustainable product works well mixed with water, for convenience, and is AIP compliant. Use code MEGAN15 for 15% off your order at check out. I used this broth for convenience when trialing this recipe three times in a row, and the gravy turned out great.)
1/2 cup coconut milk , or more broth instead if you need to avoid coconut milk
3 Tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca flour (if needed), see Notes' comments below
1 Tablespoon coconut aminos
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

If you want to make 8 biscuits, form the dough into a rectangle (you'll see photos in the recipe when you click through). For 9 biscuits, form the dough into a square.

If using a higher fat meat like beef or pork, do not using any cooking oil. Otherwise, add 1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil to pan. Add meat, herbs, spices and sea salt to hot pan, and cook over medium to medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 8 minutes, breaking up meat with spatula into small pieces as it cooks.
While the meat cooks, combine in small bowl or measuring cup with pour spout the creamy gravy ingredients: coconut milk (or 1/2 cup broth if you can't eat coconut milk; recommended if you can have it), coconut aminos, arrowroot and sea salt. Set aside.
Add broth to meat pan, and heat, then simmer about 3 minutes. (This photo shows the ground beef version of the recipe.)
Give arrowroot mixture a good stir so it's fully mixed. Then pour it into the broth and meat mixture in the pan. Stir it in until it simmers and thickens (almost immediately). If using arrowroot, remove it from the heat as soon as it thickens. If using tapioca, simmer 3 minutes. (This photo shows the ground turkey version of the recipe with coconut milk.)
Serve immediately. Slice biscuits in half. Plate, and top with gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or fried herbs like sage or rosemary.

Arrowroot is the better choice, but tapioca flour works fine. The version with beef and no coconut milk is quite good.
