Maple Sage Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients

• 19 oz. ground turkey ($3.49)
• 1 tsp dried sage ($0.10)
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme ($0.05)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder ($0.03)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika ($0.05)
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup ($0.30)
• 1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
• freshly cracked pepper ($0.03)
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)

Steps

1. 1

   Add 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. 2

   Using 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. 3

   To 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.
