I am so disappointed. I was so excited to see a recipe for a healthy version sausage gravy but this is not sausage gravy, there is no sausage in the recipe or even anything resembling sausage. You can't call it sausage gravy when there is no sausage in the recipe, its more like vegetarian gravy. - 9/13/12

Can't rate this yet, but I love the substitution esp/ w/ mushroom. I laughed when I read the complaints because it wasn't a month ago you posted a peanut butter cookie recipe and people here complained it used actual peanut butter and sugar.
I pick and choose, but your recipes have improved my lif - 9/13/12

Looks very interesting. I am looking forward to tweaking it to my personal taste and dietary preferences. Like another posterer, I am amazed by the people who don't understand that when the word "sausage" is in quotation marks that signals there is something different, i.e., there is no sausage! - 1/6/13

Texture was good, but the sage flavoring was a little overwhelming. I think the "base" was nice and might use this recipe again, but use ground chuck or vegetarian crumbles as someone stated. It paired nicely with the biscuits recipe and made nice "comfort food" for my father on a low sodium diet. - 5/26/12

I looked at the picture when the recipe hit my inbox and thought "Yippe! A low calorie 'sausage' gravy!!" To my surprise the picture, once again, does not reflect the ingredients of the recipe. If there is no sausage in the recipe, why show a picture of all sausage gravy? Another recipe gone. - 9/13/12

There's no truth calling this recipe "Sausage Gravy" with no sausage added. Very misleading--especially if that sausage was supposed to be the protein source. It is mushroom/white sauce, nothing more or less. Better to use heart-healthy or vegan sausage substitute, and retain some integrity. - 9/13/12

In the freezer compartment of most supermarkets there is a Jimmy Dean product of pre-cooked TURKEY sausage crumbles that is much lower in fat and has a decent flavor for recipes like this. It has 80 calories for 2/3 cup and 560 mg of sodium, so I only use a little.. but it's flavorful. - 1/12/13

This sounds really good, but I would have to find something else to serve it over other than biscuits. Plus, I would have to use gluten-free flour (not a problem!) as my husband has celiac disease. Perhaps I'll try this for breakfast this weekend. Could be pretty tasty over home fries! - 9/13/12

Im not sure why everyone is saying the title is misleading if you look carefully "sausage" is in parenthesis and sausage isnt in any of the ingrediants its just like my receipe for south beach mashed "potatoes" they are made with caulflower not potatoes. Im excited to try this receipe! - 2/26/13
