Skillet Turkey Sausage Patties
Ground turkey, rubbed sage, and a hint of warm ginger come together to create a lean alternative to traditional pork sausage. You'll love how easily this mixture shapes into small patties that pan-fry to a beautiful golden brown. They're packed with classic breakfast flavor but feel much lighter than the store-bought versions. Serve them alongside eggs and toast for a hearty morning meal that won't leave you feeling weighed down.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 1 pound of lean ground turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon of rubbed sage
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- 1Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle in the rubbed sage, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until just combined. Overmixing can make the meat tough.
- 2Divide the seasoned turkey mixture evenly and use your hands to form eight patties, making each about two inches wide.
- 3Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side until they're browned and the juices run clear.
Notes
- Make ahead: Mix the meat and spices up to a day in advance and store in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- Storage: Keep leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze raw or cooked patties between layers of parchment paper for up to 3 months.
- Tip: Wet your hands slightly before shaping the patties so the meat doesn't stick to your fingers.
