Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Meats and Cheese

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup smoked turkey slices, cut into bite-sized strips
  • 1 cup grated plant-based cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure an even, clean baking surface.
  2. Cook Smoked Turkey Bacon and Slice Smoked Turkey: In a pan over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Once cooled, chop into small pieces. Slice the smoked turkey slices into bite-sized strips and set both aside.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, sea salt, and black pepper to distribute the rising agents and seasoning evenly.
  4. Incorporate Cheese and Meats: Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon, smoked turkey strips, and grated plant-based cheddar cheese into the dry ingredients. Toss lightly to coat everything evenly, preventing clumps and sinking during baking.
  5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, extra virgin olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural) to enhance moisture and flavor balance.
  6. Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold gently using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
  7. Shape Biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into 8 to 10 equal-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly to allow expansion.
  8. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Avoid overworking the dough to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • Chill the dough for 10 minutes if it feels too sticky for easier handling.
  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure proper rise and lightness.
  • Grate cheese finely to distribute flavor and ensure even melting.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking results.
