This vegan sausage gravy is the perfect meatless and dairy free Thanksgiving sauce to serve over homemade biscuits or fluffy mashed potatoes. Beyond delicious, the best quick and easy recipe!
Cut the sausages in 4 pieces lengthwise then dice up into small cubes.
Preheat a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the Italian sausage and pan sear until it starts to brown around the edges. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.

In the same pan you cooked the sausage add the onion. Toss to coat well in all the sausage drippings scraping up the brown bits from the bottom. Add a little more olive oil if needed.
1/2 onion
Once the onion is softened and begins to get some color add the thyme and garlic and give everything a quick stir until you can smell the garlic.
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves or sage, 2 cloves garlic
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, using a spatula to scrape up all the little brown bits from the bottom. Simmer away until all the wine has evaporated.
1/3 cup dry white wine
Stir in the cashew milk and bring to a simmer. Cook the gravy for a few minutes until thickened to your liking. (To thin it out just add a splash of veggie stock or water).
3 cups cashew milk
Add the reserved browned sausage pieces back into the gravy and combine. Remember to save a few pieces for garnish if desired.

Vegan Sausage - I used the spicy Italian Beyond Sausage because I truly love it here. Their breakfast patties are also delicious and can be used instead, so is the Lightlife brand or your favorite plant based sausage.
