Turkey breakfast sausage is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional pork sausage. It's packed with flavors from sage, ginger, and two types of pepper. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures you'll have a tasty addition to your breakfast that's both nutritious and satisfying.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure that your working area, hands, and utensils are clean before you start. This helps maintain hygiene and ensures that the turkey sausage is safe to eat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 32 oz of ground turkey with 1/4 tsp red pepper, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp ginger.
- Using your hands or a spoon, thoroughly mix the ingredients until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the ground turkey. This is crucial for ensuring that each sausage patty is flavorful.
- Divide the seasoned turkey mixture into 8 equal portions if you want larger sausage patties, or more if you prefer smaller patties.
- Using your hands, shape each portion into a patty, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You can lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil if desired, but it’s not necessary if using a non-stick surface.
- Place the turkey sausage patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
- Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides like eggs, toast, or fruit.
- If you have leftovers, allow the patties to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or the microwave before serving.
Tips:
- When mixing the ground turkey with the spices, use your hands for even distribution.
- If you prefer spicier sausage, increase the amount of red pepper or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Shape the turkey mixture into patties or crumble it in a skillet for different uses.
- For even cooking, ensure the patties are uniform in size.
- Cook the sausages over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure they are fully cooked through.
With minimal effort and ingredients, you've created homemade turkey breakfast sausage that's not only healthier but also customizable to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy it as part of a balanced breakfast, in sandwiches, or as a protein-packed snack.
