Apple-Maple Turkey Sausage

Servings: 12 patties

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon sage

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic

• 1/4 teaspoon all spice

• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1-2 dashes cayenne pepper

• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup

• 1/4 cup peeled, minced apple

• 1lb ground turkey

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat cast iron pan over medium heat with olive oil.

2. Combine all spices, apple and turkey together in a bowl. Mix well.

3. For turkey mixture into balls (not patties, they will fall apart) and place a portion of the batch in the cast iron pan. The pan should be hot enough that they sear but don't burn. Cook on one side 3-4 minutes until they start to firm up on the underside. Using a spatula, flip each one and press down to flatten into a patty.

4. Cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

5. Serve with your favorite sides. ENJOY!
