Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean (93%) ground turkey
- ½ cup grated zucchini
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup*
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried sage
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp dried fennel seeds, crushed with knife
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 tsp olive oil
Method
In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the olive oil. Stir until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions. Using your hands, form each portion into patties about ¾-inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper until ready to cook. If not cooking right away, cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add 4 patties and cook until the patties are browned and cook through, about 8 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and patties. Serve.
