Turkey Sausage Patties

Turkey sausage patties are a lean, ground turkey product seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices. Originating from American cuisine, they are a popular breakfast and brunch item, though versatile enough for use in various dishes. The flavor profile is typically savory and slightly sweet, with common seasonings including sage, thyme, garlic, and onion powder. Their texture is tender and crumbly when cooked properly, offering a lighter alternative to traditional pork sausage. In cooking, turkey sausage patties brown nicely and can be easily crumbled for use in casseroles or breakfast skillets. However, due to their lower fat content compared to pork sausage, they require careful cooking to prevent dryness.

Notes

When selecting turkey sausage patties, opt for fresh, unrefrigerated options if available, or check the expiration date on packaged patties. Store uncooked patties in the refrigerator for up to two days or freeze for longer storage. For best results, cook them slowly over medium heat to ensure they remain juicy. Keep in mind that turkey sausage is a common choice for those seeking a lower-fat alternative to pork sausage, making it suitable for health-conscious diets.
