Turkey Sausage Patties

With me following the Atkins diet since the start of 2012, I've tried to come up with a breakfast protein to accompany eggs. Bacon is fine but I'd love to have something with less fat.

Solution: homemade turkey sausage patties using ground turkey and a few spices.  I fry them in a non-stick pan or on the George Foreman grill.

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 pounds ground turkey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

PREPARATION

• In a large bowl place the ground turkey and then all the spices on top.

• Mix with your hands until well blended. You can use a food processor as well.

• Heat a frying pan or non-stick grill or griddle.

• Form the turkey mixture into patties and brown on both sides to 165 degrees or no longer pink in the center.  About 10 minutes.

Makes about 10 patties
