Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, apple, sage, pepper, salt, paprika, and nutmeg; mix well. Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

2. Spray the unheated rack of broiler pan with nonstick spray coating. Arrange patties on rack. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat about 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in side of patty registers 165 degrees F, turning once. (Or, spray a large skillet with nonstick spray coating.

Cook sausage over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until no pink remains.) Makes 4 servings.
