How to Make Breakfast Turkey Sausage Patties

  1. Peel, core, and coarsely shred 1 medium Fuji apple (or substitute with another sweet apple or pear) using a hand grater.
  2. Place the shredded apple in a wire mesh strainer and drain well, gently pressing with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey sausage, the drained apple, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon ground sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
  5. Shape the mixture into 16 patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Place the patties on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Cook the patties in batches, about 4-6 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
