Turkey Sausage Patties

I love breakfast sausage, all the salty goodness and great flavors; but I hate the fact that most of the stuff in stores in heavily processed.  There is a shit ton of weird stuff listed in the ingredients that I don't even know what they are.  Scary. So I thought...well I could just make my own and then it will taste better, fresher (if that is a word), and healthier! Score!

With some over-medium eggs and sauteed kale for breakfast!

This makes about 6-8 little patties....

You will need:
1 lb of 99% lean ground turkey ( you could use the 93/7 and it would be good too)
1 egg
1 tsp fennel
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Making these delicious patties of awesomeness:
1.) Take a medium-large bowl and add all ingredients in bowl
2.) Mix the ingredients thoroughly...I used to my hands, it works the best :)
3.) Create a 1-1/2 inch ball
4.) Flatten to about 1/2 inch thick
       You will want it a little flatter than you would normally think, the meat expands a wee bit when cooking
5.) Repeat with the remainder of the meat mixture
6.) Heat skillet, or griddle to medium-high heat
7.) Add oil of choice...I used olive oil for these...let oil heat
8.) Add all patties to heated oil and brown both sides of the patties ( about 2 minutes per side)
9.) Once you have browned both sides, turn heat down to medium heat.
10.) Let patties cook for about 4-5 more minutes or until center is not pink anymore.
11.) Remove from heat and let rest on paper towel until cool enough to cram in your mouth

You could also make this into ground sausage if you were wanting to do something else with it.

Enjoy!
