Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the syrup, pepper, sage, salt, and onion powder in a large bowl and mix with a fork until smooth.

2. Add the turkey and mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Roll into small balls about 1" each.

3. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place half of the balls in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, flattening with a spatula when flipped, until cooked through. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.

4. Tip: Instead of rolling the balls, use a small cookie scoop to transfer the turkey mixture directly to the hot skillet.
