Description
I love breakfast sausage, but most store-bought brands are high in calories and fat and not very diet-friendly. Try this slightly sweet version made with real maple syrup. The apples help keep the sausage moist. I like to cook up a batch on Sundays and store in the fridge for quick breakfasts all week. Take care not to overcook the patties.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 small apple – peeled, cored, and finely chopped

- ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 dash ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine turkey
- apple
- maple syrup
- salt
