Turkey Sausage Patties from Scratch

By ShoDav

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced small
• 1 large garlic clove, chopped
• kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tsp fennel seed
• 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp chopped chives
• 3/4 tsp paprika
• pinch raw sugar
• pinch nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium low heat and add the oil, onions and garlic and stir frequently, about 4-5 minutes, until onion is translucent. Lower heat, if needed, to avoid browning too quickly. Once onion is softened, add fennel and toss quickly until fragrant and toasted, about 1 minute. Remove mixture to a medium bowl to cool slightly.

Add ground turkey, red wine vinegar, chives, paprika, sugar and nutmeg to bowl with onions, garlic and fennel and mix together with a fork until all ingredients are well-distributed. Form mixture into 6 even patties and lay on parchment or wax paper while working. If you want to make these for another day, they can be refrigerated or frozen.

Spray a non-stick skillet and set over medium-low heat. Once hot, brown turkey patties, in two batches, 3 minutes on each side. Once you have achieved a nice browned crust on each side, reduce heat to low and cover. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165. Remove from heat and repeat with second batch.
