The Turkey Alternative Breakfast Sausage Food

TURKEY SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix everything together. The best way is to use your hands and really mix it all together (I wear food prep gloves for this step) 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 turkey sausages. I make them about 1/2-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 turkey sausage patty is cooked through is to use an instant read thermometer. The internal temperature of each sausage patty should be 165°F / 74°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.

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).
