Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Servings: 4 servings
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp dried sage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, dried thyme, and dried sage. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the sausage patties warm with a side of fresh herbs and your favorite dipping sauce.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a milder sausage, reduce the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices such as rosemary or cumin for a different flavor profile.
- To make the patties ahead, you can shape them and freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover sausage patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
Pairings
These spicy breakfast sausages pair wonderfully with scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and freshly baked whole grain toast. For a complete breakfast experience, serve with freshly squeezed orange juice or a hot cup of mint tea.
