TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

JUICY TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Crumble ground turkey into a large mixing bowl.
• Tear bread into large pieces and place in food processor. Add onions and all seasonings. Pulse until everything is in uniform crumbs. Add chicken broth and pulse until combined. The amount of broth will depend on the dryness of your bread - it should have the consistency of oatmeal. (And yes, it looks pretty disgusting).
• Add bread mixture to the turkey in the bowl and combine thoroughly (I use my hands for this). Cover and refrigerate overnight to let flavors blend.
• Heat olive oil in skillet. Shape sausage into 16 patties and fry until cooked through.

TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (use less pepper if you don't want a spicy taste) and blend well.
• If time permits, refrigerate overnight to let the meat absorb the flavor of the spices.
• Form into patties and cook as needed, freezing leftovers.
• Don't overcook or they will dry out--remove from the heat as soon as they're no longer pink inside, but still juicy. (if you prefer a moister texture, you add a splash of olive oil or an egg to the mixture just prior to cooking).
