Description

These homemade turkey breakfast sausage patties are a flavorful and lean alternative to traditional pork sausages. Made with freshly ground turkey and a special sausage seasoning blend, they’re easy to prepare and perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch. The recipe includes detailed instructions for mixing, shaping, and freezing the patties before cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 and ½ lbs. ground turkey
  • 0.8 ounces (by weight) sausage seasoning (store-bought or homemade blend)
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey. Add the sausage seasoning and the water. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring even seasoning throughout the meat.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Lightly spray a sheet pan with at least a ½ inch lip using cooking spray. This will help prevent the sausage mixture from sticking when spreading it out.
  3. Spread the Mixture: Transfer the turkey mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Spread it evenly to your desired thickness for sausage patties, smoothing out the surface to create a uniform layer.
  4. Freeze to Set: Place the sheet pan into the freezer for about 30 minutes. The goal is to firm up the mixture slightly, not to freeze it solid, making it easier to cut into patties.
  5. Shape the Patties: Use a circular cutter such as a cookie cutter, glass, or cup to cut out individual sausage patties. To prevent sticking, dip your cutter in water before pressing it into the mixture.

Notes

  • The sausage seasoning can be purchased pre-made or made at home with a blend of spices like sage, fennel, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Do not freeze the mixture solid in the pan – just firm enough to cut easily.
  • After shaping, the patties can be cooked immediately or frozen for later use.
  • Cooking methods typically include pan frying or baking until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Use ground turkey that is fresh and preferably lean to keep the patties healthy.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes (pan frying or baking per batch)
