HOMEMADE HIDDEN VEGGIE MAPLE TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGES
Sweet and savory turkey maple sausages are easy to make ahead of time and heat up for busy mornings. One bite and you’ll never buy the store bought variety again!
Servings: 20 sausages
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey (or chicken)
- 2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture (about 2 zucchini)
- ½ heaping cup almond flour
- ¼ cup ground flax
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds (I used whole seeds and ground them in a mortal and pestle)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Add the ground turkey, shredded zucchini, almond flour, flax meal, maple syrup, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl and gently combine with your hands until evenly distributed.
- Stovetop Method: Roll the turkey maple sausages into about 3”x1” sausages. Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sausages and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on 3 sides. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Form the turkey sausage into about 3”x3/4” patties and place on the sheet pan. Bake for 22 minutes. Remove the oven and let it cool. Enjoy!
Notes
To freeze: cook the sausages, allow to cool, and then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
To reheat from frozen: allow to thaw in the fridge, then reheat on the stove, oven, toaster oven, or air fryer.
