Ingredients
For the Turkey Sausage Mixture:

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients. You'll need ground turkey, garlic, fennel seeds, dried sage, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and a small amount of olive oil. For added moisture, you can also use finely chopped onions or bell peppers.
- Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine the garlic (minced), fennel seeds, sage, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Combine them thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Combine with Ground Turkey: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey. Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat. Use your hands or a spoon to mix thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly incorporated into the turkey.
- Form the Sausages: Once the turkey mixture is well-seasoned, divide it into small portions (about 2-3 tablespoons each). Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a sausage shape.
- Cook the Sausages: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Place the sausages in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthy turkey sausages with your favorite sides!
