Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp Dried sage
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, crushed red pepper flakes, and brown sugar.

Step 2

Add the cold water to the bowl and use your hands to gently mix until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the turkey. Do not overmix to avoid tough sausage.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (for thin patties) or shape into bite-sized pieces depending on your preference.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If your skillet is not non-stick, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, add the sausage patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the sausages from the pan and allow them to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Enjoy your homemade turkey sausages with eggs, on a breakfast sandwich, or as part of your favorite meals!
