Turkey Breakfast Sausage is a lean, protein-packed alternative to traditional pork sausage, perfect for a healthier start to your day. Made with ground turkey and seasoned with a flavorful blend of herbs and spices like sage, thyme, garlic, and a touch of maple or red pepper flakes, these patties are juicy, savory, and satisfying. Ideal for pairing with eggs, pancakes, or breakfast sandwiches, they cook quickly and are easy to prepare ahead for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
