My hearty sausage patties are loaded with flavor but contain a fraction of the sodium and fat found in commercial breakfast links.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

  • Crumble turkey into a large bowl. Add the salt, sage, pepper and ginger. Shape into eight 2-in. patties.
  • In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook patties over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
