Homemade Turkey Sausage Patties
Description
This recipe mixes ground turkey sausage with a combination of poultry seasoning (or a thyme and sage blend), garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. The spices are incorporated thoroughly, and the mixture can be chilled briefly to develop flavors. The sausage is then shaped into small, flat patties and cooked in a medium-heat skillet until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside.
The resulting patties have a tender but firm texture, with seasoning that is balanced and mildly spiced. The red pepper flakes add only subtle heat at the given quantity, adjustable for personal spice preference. The stovetop method allows for easy control over doneness and browning.
These patties serve well as a breakfast protein, sandwich filling, or part of a main meal. Their homemade nature lets you control seasoning levels and avoid additives found in some store-bought sausages.
Notes highlight that increasing the red pepper flakes boosts spiciness, while reducing or omitting them suits sensitive palates. The seasoning mix can be varied slightly to taste, and resting the mixture before cooking improves flavor integration.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey sausage
- 2 tsp poultry seasoning or use a mix of dried thyme + rubbed sage
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp 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
- Red pepper flakes add mild heat; increase to 1/2 tsp for more spice or reduce to 1/8 tsp to lessen.
- Resting the sausage mixture refrigerated before cooking enhances flavor melding.
- Adjust seasoning levels to suit personal taste preferences.
