Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Choose your meat …mix your spices into 1 lb of Ground Turkey, choosing ONE of the folllowing …

• Lean – Use 1 lb of 93% Fat-Free Ground Turkey (best for egg-free)
• Leaner – Use 1 lb of 97% Fat-Free Ground Turkey
• Ultra-Lean – Use 1 lb of 99% Fat-Free Ground White Turkey Meat

Let it Rest … If time permits, cover and chill for at least an hour (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld. If you are in a hurry, skip this step and move ahead to the next one.

Add Some Moisture … Combine ONE of the following egg options into the meat to add a little moisture into that turkey meat …

Time to Cook … Spray a skillet with cooking spray (or use 1 teaspoon of oil) and heat it over medium heat. Scoop the ground turkey (it will be very moist if you added egg, I use an ice cream scoop) into your skillet and flatten it with the back of a spatula. Cover and allow the patties to cook for 3 minutes. Flip, cover again, and allow them to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Don’t cook them too long, as the meat will dry out, but make sure there is no pink left in the middle. And serve.

Yields 4 servings (about 8 2-ounce patties)
