HOMEMADE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix everything together. The best way is to use your hands and really mix it all together. You can also use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
• There are a few different ways you can do this. I like to use a large cookie scoop / ice cream scoop. I lightly pack the meat into the scoop, release the scoop, then flatten it with my palm. Alternatively, you can just divide the meat into 12 rough balls, and shape each ball into a sausage patty. Lastly, you can also roll out the meat between parchment paper, then cut the sausages with a round cookie cutter / lip of a cup.
• Make 12 equal sized sausage patties. I make them about 1-inch thick if I am going to cook them straight away, but you can make according to your preference.
• If you are going to freeze half the batch, make the ones you are going to freeze no thicker than 1/2-inch, if you plan on cooking from frozen. Otherwise, you will need to defrost the sausage patties before cooking.
• Heat some oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties (you might need to do it in batches) and cook the first side for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Flip then cook the other side until browned and the sausage is cooked through.The most reliable way to to check if a sausage patty is cooked through is to use an instant read thermometer. The internal temperature of each sausage patty should be 160°F / 71°C.
• If you are cooking from frozen, follow the same instructions, but you will need to slightly increase the cooking time. If the sausages are browned but not cooked through, turn the heat down and finish cooking.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix sausage, beef, 3/4 cup cheese and egg; shape into 6 (1/2-inch thick) patties.
• Grill 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (160ºF), toasting cut sides of buns on the grill for the last minute. Meanwhile, combine remaining cheese, basil and dressing.
• Fill buns with lettuce, tomatoes, burgers and cheese mixture.

HEALTHIER ITALIAN SAUSAGE PATTIES

• Divide into 6 equal portions and form into patties. Place patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, cook patties in the hot skillet for 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

LOW SODIUM ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Crush the "leafy" basil, sage, oregano, pepper flakes and fennel seed in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until ground or they are lightly powdered.
• Mix the ground spice in with all the other spices in a small bowl and whisk well to remove any clumps.
• Sprinkle the spice mixture and remaining ingredients over the ground meat and knead well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
• Refrigerate overnight to let the spice flavors infuse into the meat. If you try to cook the meat immediately, it will have very little flavor as the spices need time to develop.
• You can also add an (1) egg and (1) slice dried breadcrumbs to bulk up regular sausage patties.
• Form into patties, links or crumbles
• Cook over medium heat to an internal temperature of 160°F or until outside surface is light to medium brown. About 8 to 9 minutes total and there is no pink remaining. Since it is lean do not overcook or the meat will turn out very dry. Usually fat gives it a "moistness" that helps carry the flavor.

Steps:

• Combine turkey (or chicken), diced apple, spices, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon or your hands.

• Add the patties to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them or it's difficult to flip them and they won't brown as well. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and no longer pink in the center.
