Mom's Turkey Sausage Patties

By Hapemom

I was looking for an alternative to pork sausage, and came across this homemade version. It received 4.5 (out of 5) stars with 79 reviews. My favorite review was "WHOA! Was this homemade sausage that I just ate?"

NOTE: This recipe has a mild to moderate zing. Increase cayenne and black pepper if you like more of a punch. Thyme may be substituted for sage, or use both.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, ginger, salt, sage, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well blended.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Form the turkey sausage into patties, and fry until browned on both sides, and no longer pink in the center. This should take about 15 minutes.
