Ingredients in Savory Homemade Turkey Sausage

• Garlic: fresh minced garlic will add a zing to these savory sausages! Garlic powder can also be used in a pinch.
• Onion: freshly chopped onion is best, but you can use onion powder if you don’t have onions on hand.
• Cumin: cumin will add a little spice to these sausages, giving them a more robust flavor.
• Black pepper: the black pepper complements the cumin. Feel free to adjust the amount of pepper to your tastes.
• Bone broth: low-sodium bone broth is what really gives these sausages their savory flavor.
• Cayenne pepper (optional): Like a bit more heat? Add some extra spice with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes! You can use seasonings to create a spice mixture that’s right for you.

Recipe Tips

• This is a favorite recipe for meal prep! It’s super easy to put together, and sometimes I justneeda warm and cozy breakfast food to start my day.
• If you double this delicious recipe you’ll have a big batch of lean breakfast sausages for an entire week.
• Not sure how big of a patty to make? If your silpat mat has circular markings on it, use those as a guide to help with portion sizes.
• Pork sausage and other turkey sausage recipes will sometimes add real maple syrup or brown sugar for a sweeter sausage. Remember that if you add any sweeteners to this homemade version the nutritional counts will change.
• Made a large batch and want to freeze some? Great! Place your completely cooled, cooked breakfast patties on a baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap. Once frozen, remove them from the sheet and place them in a freezer-safe container.
• To re-heat frozen homemade breakfast sausage, warm a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can also heat them up in an air fryer!
