Ingredients & Health Benefits
- Ground Turkey: I use organic ground turkey. This is a lean meat and a great option if you want to eat breakfast meat daily (which I do!). Turkey has loads of protein to keep you going all day long.
- Maple Syrup: I use pure organic maple syrup for a little sweetener. When you buy pure organic maple syrup it's also a good sauce of minerals and antioxidants.
- Salt and Pepper: Both salt and pepper are key for flavoring these breakfast sausages.
- Fennel Seeds: I use Organic Fennel Seeds for the iconic breakfast sausage flavor! Fennel seeds are high in fiber which help with digestion, they also are anti inflammatory.
- Marjoram: I use organic marjoram, which provides flavor. It's also great for digestive health and hormone health.
- Sage: I use organic dried sage for flavor. Sage also is anti inflammatory, can help with skin healing, and even help with menopause symptoms.
- EVOO: This is optional, but if you are using a stainless steel pan or one that needs to be greased, then use a little bit of organic extra virgin olive oil to grease the pan. EVOO is a good healthy fat that's also anti inflammatory.
Tools Needed
- Mixing Bowl: I use a large mixing bowl to mix together the meat and spices.
- Large Skillet: I'm using my GreenPan large skillet here, so I don't need any oil. You can also use cast iron as well.
