How to Make Turkey Sausage

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and any desired spices (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, sage, red pepper flakes).
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the turkey. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the egg is set.
  5. Using two forks, chop the turkey mixture to your desired consistency (crumbly or slightly chunky).
  6. **Alternative Method (for patties):** In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground turkey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and any desired spices. Mix gently. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. **Alternative Method (for patties):** Form the chilled mixture into patties. Fry the patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
