Turkey Sausage From Ground Turkey

Once you realize how easy it is to make your own sausage, there’s no going back to the plastic-wrapped stuff.

Ground turkey gets mixed with a savory blend of sage, poultry seasoning, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne for warmth. A couple drops of liquid smoke add that familiar breakfast sausage depth without a smoker in sight.

Shape into patties, links, or crumble it straight into your skillet. That’s it. You control the salt, the spice, and the quality.

Pro Tips

• Let the seasoned mixture rest in the fridge for an hour so the flavors develop
• Wet your hands before shaping to prevent the meat from sticking
• Freeze individual patties between parchment paper for quick weekday breakfasts
• Adjust the cayenne up or down depending on your heat tolerance
