You probably know you can make your own sausage in a slaughter-it-and-toil-for-a-week kind of way, but you can also stir up a batch of breakfast patties super easy with just a little ground meat and a few common herbs and spices. And then you know what’s in it.
Turkey Sausage
makes 8 patties
1 lb. ground turkey (more or less, mine was 1.2 lbs.)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 to 2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Shape sausage into patties, about 1/4 cup each. Heat a large skillet and oil lightly.
Fry sausages over medium heat until well browned and much of the fat has rendered out. Serve warm.
