Turkey Breakfast Sausage

sage

salt

black pepper

thyme

garlic powder

¼ teaspoon dried marjoram ((or dried oregano))

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

99% turkey breast

Stir together all of the spices in a small dish until thoroughly mixed. Place the ground turkey in a mixing bowl and add the spice mixture. Using clean hands or a fork, mix the spices into the ground turkey until well combined. If possible, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight so flavors can meld.

If making patties: Split the turkey mixture into eight balls, 2 ounces each. Press the balls into patties, about ½ inch thick. Mist a large griddle pan or skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. When hot, place the patties on the pan in a single layer, not touching each other. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip. Cook on the other side for anther 4-5 minutes until cooked through.If making crumbles: Mist a large skillet or sauté pan with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. Add the turkey mixture and cook, breaking it up into small chunks for 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

The seasonings are great, but I found I needed much more of them. I will try increasing by 2 - 2.5 times. Maybe even more salt.

Gotta expect some variants on your recipe, right? Let me say up front that you have a great basic spice approach for this. Definitely deserves the 5-star rating even tho I change many things.

I'm a fat-adapted eater (very low carb*) and grind my own chicken sausage from thighs + skin, using your recipe w/ more red pepper flakes (like 3-4x), using Korean gochugaru, which are a "fruitier" flavor... also ~1/2 tsp cayenne. In addition, I use smoked Hungarian paprika. I have Old Guy taste buds and need some kick.

All this gets "kneaded" into the chopped-up chicken to sit overnight before the grind (your notion that meat needs to "steep" in spices is dead on).

Just what I was looking for in a breakfast patty recipe. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious!!! I wasn't a ground turkey fan but this recipe has changed my mind.

Really tasty, even with the salt cut by half.  I added about 1/2 cup of finely grated apple to add sweetness and moisture.  It was still pretty dry, but served with the low fat French toast with maple/applesauce syrup it was fine.

I followed this recipe exactly as written. I didn't have marjoram so I used oregano instead.  I decided to let it set overnight in the fridge to let the flavors set in and it was Delicious! Taste exactly like jimmy dean pork sausage but healthier. Thank you so much for an awesome recipe. This one is a keeper.

These seasoning make for great turkey sausage.  I will share this with friends and family.

This is delicious! I made some changes. I used 93/7 Jenni-O, doubled the maple syrup, and added 1/4 tsp paprika for a little kick. Thanks.

I followed the recipe as written and it was delicious!  Due to alpha gal, I was looking for a breakfast sausage option and I've finally found it.  Thanks for sharing!

Hi I love this recipe! I’m writing from Canada and follow Weight watchers too. I like that you have a link to check the personal points, however it only links it to weightwatchers.com which doesn’t link to Canadian accounts. Would you consider/have the ability to trying to link it to weightwatchers.ca ? 

If not no worries, but just thought I’d ask. Thanks for all your great recipes!
