Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Image
Making breakfast sausage at home is very easy to do.  Once I made these I will never go back to buying it at the store.  Plus it is healthier than the store bought kind without any preservatives and less greasy than the pork sausage.   These are also low carb and a good source of protein.  These can be made up ahead of time and then frozen to be ready to cook in a hurry.  Mix ground turkey, sage, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and marjoram together into a bowl. With your hands mix ingredients together and form into patties.   Cook patties in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink in the middle.
