These Turkey Breakfast Sausage patties are just delicious. And I swear I’m not just saying that. I take pride in the recipes I post here, and I wouldn’t share a crappy one with you. Pinkie promise.
Ok, so time for me to admit something: I really struggle with “breakfast meats”. Like, it actually stresses me out when I’m out at brunch and am asked, “Bacon, sausage links, or sausage patties”?
Angel Jamie: “Oh no thanks, I’ll be fine with eggs and toast”.
Devil Jamie: “Um…ALL OF THEM obviously. Thanks.”
I know processed meat is NOT great for my body, and that I should say no. But I just wanna say YYYYAAAASSS!!! And I normally NEVER have bacon or sausage in my house for breakfast, so when I’m out, I wanna go for it, ya know?
But then I got to thinking….”what am I depriving myself of something that I very clearly enjoy? Why can’t I just make a healthier version of it?”
BOOM.
This recipe is simple! It’s literally ground turkey (or any meat you like!), and some spices. DAT’S IT.
Form in to patties, “fry” ’em in a skillet, and VIOLA. Healthy turkey breakfast sausage without the added BS and fillers.
What I love most about this recipe is how great these little guys freeze up! I like to make a big batch and tuck them in the freezer for anytime (which is seldom, I’ll admit), that I just NEED some breakfast meat. Thus, freezing is the way to go at casa de Jamie.
Try these out! Mess with the recipe, try making it with pork, bison, anything! Switch up the spices, too! I’d love to know what you come up with!

Notes
- Get dirty! You can always wash those hands. I find that your hands are your best tools to mix things up - especially meat.
- Feel free to use fresh herbs as opposed to dried in this recipe. Note that fresh will be stronger, so you may need to reduce the amount you use.
