Prep Time

10 minutes

Cooking Time

5-8 minutes

Yields

8-10 patties

Ingredients

  • 1.25 lbs ground turkey meat
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh-ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, knead well until thoroughly combined.
  2. Preheat 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Form turkey mixture into 8-10 balls and press them into patties. Place the patties on a plate until your finished forming them. (If the mixture is sticky, moisten hands with a little water to make it easier to form the patties.)
  3. Add a little butter or oil to the skillet. Cook the patties about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. (Note: You may need to adjust cooking time depending on size and thickness of your patties.)
  4. Alternately, you can freeze the uncooked seasoned meat for use in recipes calling for ground sausage.  Enjoy!

Notes

Time-Saving Tip: Double or triple the recipe and store cooled cooked patties in the freezer. Then, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat for a quick, delicious breakfast! (You can also prepare the meat with the seasonings and freeze raw for use later in recipes calling for ground sausage.)
