Maple Apple Turkey Sausage

4.4
(17)

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey

  • 1 small apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, or more to taste

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon dried sage

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

  • teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 dash ground cloves

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Combine turkey, apple, maple syrup, salt, sage, garlic powder, black pepper, marjoram, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl; mix well. Form into 10 small patties.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
