Turkey Breakfast Sausages

One of the best parts of my weekends are the delicious breakfasts that my husband and I prepare. Nothing gets the day started better than a good meal, and this includes a plate with some low carb, low fat, home made Turkey Breakfast Sausages.

Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Turkey
2 Tsp Ground Sage
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Tsp Cummin
2 Tblsp Sugar Free Syrup
5 Tblsp Minced Shallots
2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1 Tsp Garlic Powder


Preparation:

Mix everything together in a bowl (use your hands). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.


To form the sausages, I use an icing bag without any of the tips. I place the turkey sausage mixture into a 1 gallon plastic bag and shape it so that the very tip comes out the bottom.

Cut the tip and start squeezing to form long strands of sausages that can then be cut to your liking.


Once the sausages have been cut, I use an electric griddle to cook them. Preheat to 325 F and cook sausages on both sides.

I like them a little crispy so this is about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.


You will notice the color as you turn them over.



This recipe can be made even lower in fat by using ground turkey breast rather than plain ground turkey. Also, adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking depending on how spicy you want them. These sausages go great with in a dish with over easy eggs and fresh fruits. Our plates usually include slices of avocado and/or fresh tomato.
