Here is a healthy and delicious turkey breakfast sausage recipe, perfect for a balanced and flavorful meal.

Ingredients:

• 450 g (16 oz) of ground turkey with low fat content
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried sage or thyme
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, slightly crushed
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with all the spices and maple syrup and mix well by hand until everything is well incorporated.

2. Form the Sausages:

Divide the mixture into 8 small portions and shape each portion into a sausage shape.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Then, cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

4. Serving Suggestions

These turkey breakfast sausages are best enjoyed hot with eggs (scrambled, poached, or fried), toast, or in a sandwich. They can also be served with hash browns, avocado toast, or pancakes for a gourmet touch. For a healthier option, serve these sausages with a fresh fruit salad, a bowl of plain yogurt, and some nuts.

Variations: For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Sriracha or Tabasco.
