Ingredients

5 servings
  • Ground Turkey, 99% Lean(539g)
  • Sage, Fresh(5g)
  • Thyme, Dried(3g)
  • Garlic powder(1g)
  • Paprika, Smoked(3g)
  • Maple syrup(15g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
  • freshly cracked pepper ($0.03)
  • Vegetable oil(15g)

Instructions

  1. 1Add the ground turkey, sage, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, maple syrup, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper to a bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until the ground turkey is evenly seasoned.
  2. 2Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion and shape the ground meat mixture into patties. After measuring out 1/4 cup, make sure to flatten the patties until they are very thin, as they'll shrink inward and get thicker in the center as they cook. The shaped patties should be about 3-inches wide.
  3. 3To cook the Maple Sage Breakfast Sausage, add 1 Tbsp cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium. Once hot, add the sausage patties (working in two batches if needed to prevent over crowding the skillet) and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned on the outside and cooked through. Serve hot.
