This turkey sausage is a delicious, homemade breakfast meat that is perfectly juicy and takes 6 minutes to cook! Made with just six ingredients, it’s healthy, flavorful, and perfect.
We’ve used it in turkey meatballs, burgers, and meatloaf. Our favorite way to use it is to make homemade turkey sausage.
Turkey sausage can come as patties or links and is made up of ground turkey, spices, and some form of fat. It’s lower in calories than other sausages and has a milder and less meaty flavor.
While you can buy pre-packaged turkey sausage at supermarkets, making it at home is SO easy and tastes ten times better.
I love using these turkey sausage patties for making breakfast sandwiches or part of a breakfast plate. Pair it with eggs (Turkish style, over-easy, over-medium, or over-hard!) for a satisfying breakfast.
This recipe calls for just six simple ingredients that are mostly pantry staples. Here is what you’ll need:
Start by adding all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together until completely combined.
Add oil to a non-stick skillet or pan and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the breakfast sausage patties and fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve the sausage immediately with your favorite sides.
If you’d like to bake the turkey sausage instead of frying it, prepare it as instructed. Place them on a greased and lined baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
The beauty of this recipe is just how easy it is to customize. Here are some ideas:
To store: Leftover breakfast sausage can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to five days.
To freeze: Place the cooked and cooled sausage in a ziplock bag and store it in the freezer for up to two months.
Compared to beef or pork sausages, turkey sausage is a healthier option. It’s lower in calories and fat, and does not have a meaty flavor.
Grocery stores and butchers all stock ground turkey, which can be used to make turkey sausage.
If you make your own turkey sausage or breakfast sausage, it is not considered processed meat, as there are no fillers, thickeners, or preservatives added.
