Chicken, Apple & Fresh Sage Sausage Patties

By BClover

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional oil for cooking sausages
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1 pound ground chicken (I prefer dark meat)
• 1/3 cup fresh sage, finely shredded
• 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• pinch of cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté several minutes, until soft. Add the apples and continue to cook until they just begin to soften. In a large bowl, combine the onion-apple mixture with the remaining ingredients.
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into 16 small patties. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place a skillet over medium-low heat and add some olive oil. Brown the sausages in two batches for about 2 minutes per side. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.
