MAPLE APPLE TURKEY SAUSAGE



Maple Apple Turkey Sausage image

I love breakfast sausage, but most store-bought brands are high in calories and fat and not very diet-friendly. Try this slightly sweet version made with real maple syrup. The apples help keep the sausage moist. I like to cook up a batch on Sundays and store in the fridge for quick breakfasts all week. Take care not to overcook the patties.

MAPLE APPLE SAUSAGE BALLS

I can't remember where this recipe came from originally - I've had it in my recipe box for so long and it has become a favorite at pot lucks! These are also great to make ahead of time and freeze uncooked. To bake them from frozen, thaw on a baking sheet at room temperature for 15 minutes and bake them in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. For a firmer texture you can add 3 cups of baking mix and 2 cups of shredded cheese.
