I cooked these this morniing and wanted to find ot the nutritional value. They are actually very tasty. After viewing some recipes that advise to cover and refrigerate before cooking, I will prepare again, using that method. My daughter and I enjoyed them. Hope you will too. And as with all of my recipes, there is no salt added. Unfortunately, the site does not recognikze Mrs. Dash, so the sodium levels are alway incorrect.

TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES



Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties image

I combined different spices to achieve what tastes almost as good, if not better than regular sausage. Be sure to use regular ground turkey (not ground turkey breast, which is too lean so it doesn't have enough moisture). UPDATE: After all the positive reviews, I decided to submit this to Taste of Home's Light & Tasty and they published it in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue. It's also in the Light & Tasty Annual Recipes 2008 Cookbook.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (use less pepper if you don't want a spicy taste) and blend well.
  • If time permits, refrigerate overnight to let the meat absorb the flavor of the spices.
  • Form into patties and cook as needed, freezing leftovers.
  • Don't overcook or they will dry out--remove from the heat as soon as they're no longer pink inside, but still juicy. (if you prefer a moister texture, you add a splash of olive oil or an egg to the mixture just prior to cooking).
