How to Make Italian Turkey Sausage
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Gently shape the mixture into 8 patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
- Alternatively, crumble the turkey mixture directly into the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- Serve your delicious and healthy Italian turkey sausage on sandwiches, pasta, or your favorite dish!
