Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey sausage - I used Jennie-O
  • 2 tsp poultry seasonings
  • 1/2 tsp each: salt & garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp each: pepper paprika & red pepper flakes*

Instructions

  • Whisk the spices together in a medium bowl first. Add the sausage and work the spices into the sausage until evenly mixed in. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes if time allows so the flavors come together more. 
  • Divide the turkey mixture into 10 pieces and use your palms and fingers to shape into patties. Flatten to about 1/2-thickness (press them smaller than you want them to be because they will rise when cooked).
  • Set the skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add sausage patties and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Then transfer to a plate to rest.

Notes

*adding 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes doesn’t make this sausage spicy, just gives it a touch of heat. So if you want a little more spice, up it to 1/2 tsp. On the flip side, if you’re sensitive to spice you can take it down to 1/8 tsp or omit completely.
