Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Healthy Option: Making this homemade breakfast sausage recipe with organic ingredients is a much healthier way to enjoy breakfast meat. Most store bought breakfast meats will have additives or nitrates, so when you make your own, you are avoiding these things.
- Lean Meat: Organic ground turkey is a lean meat, making this a great option for getting good quality protein that will sustain you all day long. That's why I love turkey sausage for breakfast!
- Perfectly Spiced: This homemade breakfast sausage is perfectly spiced with little effort. The everything bagel spice mix does a lot of the heavy lifting with the addition of so many delicious and flavorful spices!
- Go with Everything: You can enjoy these Everything Bagel Turkey Breakfast Sausages with a toasted bagel, eggs, waffles, pancakes, rice bowls and the list goes on. Try them in my Turkey Avocado Brunch Bowl! I even will throw these in a salad for lunch sometimes and they are delicious!
Ingredients
- Ground Turkey: I use organic ground turkey, but ground chicken also works for a lean option. You can also make these with ground pork too!
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: My secret ingredient is organic everything bagel seasoning. This has seeds like sesame, poppy seeds, and black sesame seeds. It also has garlic and onion. So, this provides loads of flavor with one simple ingredient.
- Fennel Seed: Organic fennel seed is a crucial spice for flavor in this homemade breakfast sausage recipe. I feel this is an iconic flavor that makes it “breakfast sausage”!
- EVOO: Depending on what kind of pan you're using, you may or may not need oil. If you're using oil, I recommend organic extra virgin olive oil.
