Delicious Breakfast Turkey Sausage

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if you desire a bit of heat. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  2. Once mixed, form the turkey mixture into patties. You can make them as thick or as thin as you prefer; usually, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter works well for cooking.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the turkey sausage patties in the skillet.
  4. Cook the patties for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and fully cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause the sausage to steam instead of brown.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
