Ingredients for Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties

Ground Turkey – Ground turkey that’s a mix of both white and dark meat works best (or all dark meat). Look for packages marked 90-93% lean or add a few pounds of ground turkey to your next ButcherBox order Apples – Any variety will work so use what you like best or what you have on hand. You can peel them if you want to but since you’ll be dicing them pretty small it’s okay to leave the peel on and save yourself the trouble of peeling it Garlic powder Dried Italian seasoning or dried sage – You can pretty much use any seasoning here so use what you like best or what you have on hand. Don’t like fennel? Leave it out. Need a nightshade-free or AIP-friendly option? Leave out the paprika. Don’t have dried sage? Substitute dried thyme. Want it spicy? Try using hot smoked paprika or a pinch of ground white pepper or red pepper flakes Paprika Dried fennel – Fennel’s licorice-like flavor gives sausage that distinctive sausage taste but it’s optional and can be replaced with dried thyme if you’d like Salt and Pepper Cooking fat of choice – Olive oil and avocado oil are both good choices. Coconut oil will also work.
