Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2.2 pounds ground turkey ((I use turkey thigh for the juiciest sausages))
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix everything together. The best way is to use your hands and really mix it all together (I wear food prep gloves for this step) You can also use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • There are a few different ways you can do this. I like to use a large cookie scoop / ice cream scoop. I lightly pack the meat into the scoop, release the scoop, then flatten it with my palm. Alternatively, you can just divide the meat into 12 rough balls, and shape each ball into a sausage patty. Lastly, you can also roll out the meat between parchment paper, then cut the sausages with a round cookie cutter / lip of a cup.
  • Make 12 equal sized turkey sausages. I make them about 1/2-inch thick if I am going to cook them straight away, but you can make according to your preference.
  • If you are going to freeze half the batch, make the ones you are going to freeze no thicker than 1/2-inch, if you plan on cooking from frozen. Otherwise, you will need to defrost the sausage patties before cooking.
  • Heat some oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties (you might need to do it in batches) and cook the first side for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Flip then cook the other side until browned and the sausage is cooked through.The most reliable way to to check if a turkey sausage patty is cooked through is to use an instant read thermometer. The internal temperature of each sausage patty should be 165°F / 74°C.
  • If you are cooking from frozen, follow the same instructions, but you will need to slightly increase the cooking time. If the sausages are browned but not cooked through, turn the heat down and finish cooking.

"I experimented with so many spices to finally attain what I think is the next-best-thing to pork sausage," writes Marla Swoffer from Novato, California. "These are especially good drizzed with maple syrup...or crumbled in a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, cheese and taco sauce."

Courtesy Low Sodium Cooking, this sausage has the savory character of higher-fat and higher-sodium grocery store brands but without nitrates, nitrites, preservatives and the other bad stuff. Grill it, shish kebab it, fry, bake or gumbo it it'll be great.

TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES



Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties image

I combined different spices to achieve what tastes almost as good, if not better than regular sausage. Be sure to use regular ground turkey (not ground turkey breast, which is too lean so it doesn't have enough moisture). UPDATE: After all the positive reviews, I decided to submit this to Taste of Home's Light & Tasty and they published it in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue. It's also in the Light & Tasty Annual Recipes 2008 Cookbook.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (use less pepper if you don't want a spicy taste) and blend well.
  • If time permits, refrigerate overnight to let the meat absorb the flavor of the spices.
  • Form into patties and cook as needed, freezing leftovers.
  • Don't overcook or they will dry out--remove from the heat as soon as they're no longer pink inside, but still juicy. (if you prefer a moister texture, you add a splash of olive oil or an egg to the mixture just prior to cooking).
