Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages
Lightly sweetened, these Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages are packed with protein and savory spices. With clean, simple ingredients, they are so much better than store bought!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon marjoram
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, sage, and marjoram.
- Mix to combine completely.
- Form the turkey into 6 patties that are about 3-inches in diameter. If you want to weigh these you can, they’ll weigh about 75 grams each, or you can also eyeball them too.
- In a large skillet add the olive oil (if using) and put over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. I like to sear the sides to help them cook a bit faster to ensure they stay moist and don't dry out.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
Tips
- You can also use ground chicken or ground pork in place of turkey.
- If you want to form these into links, you can do that instead, they'll cook the same way.
- Easily freeze these after they made and cooled. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. You can reheat in your toaster oven or air fryer, just like frozen breakfast sausages!
- High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
