Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Homemade turkey breakfast sausage combines ground turkey with spices like paprika, red chili flakes, and garlic to create a protein rich breakfast sausage that is healthier than store bought.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs turkey (or meat of choice cut into cubes), (You will create ground turkey in food processor.)
- 2 Tbsps aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsps finely chopped fresh parsley, or 2 tsps dried parsley
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place your meat cubes into a food processor and pulse until ground.
- Add in your vinegar, herbs, paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and pepper. Continue to pulse until thoroughly combined.
- Divide your mixture in half (you will get 2, 1 pound packages of sausage out of the mixture).
- Tightly wrap half of the sausage mixture in plastic wrap, gently rolling it to form it into a thick sausage.
- To secure the ends make a knot then cut and remove the excess wrap.
- Repeat with remaining mixture.
- It will taste better if you allow it to refrigerate overnight.
- Refrigerate for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To cook, slice 1/2-inch thick patties and fry them in a non-stick pan for about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Or use in recipes as desired.
- Enjoy!
