These homemade turkey sausage patties are built on lean ground turkey breast, studded with bits of dried apple for a hint of sweetness, and seasoned with the classic sage-nutmeg-pepper trio that makes breakfast sausage smell like a farmhouse morning.
Oats and egg white hold everything together without adding fat, so the patties stay tender on the inside with a nice sear on the outside.
Eight patties from half a pound of turkey means this recipe stretches further than you’d expect.
Pro Tips
- Snip the dried apple slices with kitchen scissors instead of chopping. They’re sticky, and scissors make quick work of them.
- Wet your hands before shaping patties so the mixture doesn’t cling to your fingers.
- Don’t press down on the patties while cooking. Let the skillet do its job and you’ll get a better crust.
- These freeze beautifully. Layer cooked patties between parchment paper and stash them for quick weekday breakfasts.
