Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp tsp ground sage
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp pepper or red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar *use less if desired but it adds a nice "maple" flavor"
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, seasonings and brown sugar. Mix well with a spatula or with your hands.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium/high heat. Add the mixed turkey sausage to the skillet. Chop the meat up roughly with a spatula OR you can make small sausage patties and cook them in the pan.
- Continue to cook until turkey sausage is cooked throughout (165º internally). Add it to egg scrambles, omelettes, breakfast casseroles, sandwiches and more.
Notes
-
- Don't overcook. Ground turkey can dry out quickly so avoid overcooking it. Cook the sausage just until it's no longer pink, but still making sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Brown Sugar gives off a nice maple flavor to the turkey sausage, I like to use a full Tablespoon but if you are cautious feel free to use less! I promise it's so good.
- Make Turkey Patties if desired. Just form 1/4 cup patties and cook in a skillet.
-
- Pair it with veggies. Serve it with bell peppers, onions, spinach, and shredded cheese for a complete breakfast.
