Turkey Sausage
Making your own breakfast sausage is surprisingly easy! These sweet and savory turkey sausage patties take 20 minutes and are juicy and delish.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 6 minutes
Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 patties
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey 90% to 95% lean
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes reduce to ⅛ teaspoon if sensitive to spice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil for cooking the patties
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the turkey, olive oil, maple syrup, sage, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. With a fork or your fingers, gently combine being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form into 6 patties—they will be about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
- To cook, heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium high. Once the skillet is good and hot, add the patties to the skillet, leaving some room around them. Cook on the first side for 3 minutes, until they turn golden brown.
- Flip and cook on the other side until the patties are cooked through, about 2 minutes more—they should reach 165°F on an instant read thermometer. Transfer to a plate.
- Repeat with remaining patties. Enjoy!
Notes
- TO STORE: Transfer the cooked turkey sausage to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm the sausages in a skillet set over medium heat until they’re warmed through, or heat the patties in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Place the cooked turkey sausage patties in an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating for the best results.
