TURKEY SAUSAGE PATTIES WITH APPLE

Steps:

• Combine turkey (or chicken), diced apple, spices, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon or your hands.
• Using wet hands, form meat mixture into 12 small patties (Thin is good because they will shrink and fatten up in the pan a bit).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add oil/fat (about ½ Tbsp. per batch of patties, depending on the size of your pan and whether or not it's non-stick).
• 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.
• Remove patties to a plate lined with a paper towel and repeat with remaining oil and turkey mixture.
• Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - may be frozen for longer storage.

HOMEMADE TURKEY & APPLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, apple, sage, black pepper, salt, paprika, ground red pepper and nutmeg.
• Add turkey and mix well.
• Shape mixture into 4 patties (1/2 inch thick).
• Spray the unheated rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Arrange patties on rack.
• Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat about 10 minutes or until no longer pink; turn once.
• (Or spray an unheated large skillet with nonstick spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink).

MAPLE APPLE TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine turkey, apple, maple syrup, salt, sage, garlic powder, black pepper, marjoram, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl; mix well. Form into 10 small patties.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
