Homemade Maple Breakfast Sausage

• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 16 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb ground pork

1 lb ground turkey

1/4 cup maple syrup (use the darkest REAL maple syrup you can find)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp fresh sage (chopped)

3/4 tsp dried thyme (or 1 Tbsp fresh thyme - chopped)

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

3/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

Directions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper sprayed lightly with cooking spray, set aside.

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use hands to mix until just combined.

Spread mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2" - 3/4" thick (this can be adjusted if you prefer a thicker patty). Spray the rim of a 3 1/2" biscuit cutter (or large-mouthed drinking glass) and cut out patties.

If patties are having a hard time staying together, place on wax paper in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Heat vegetable oil (about 1-2 Tbsp) in a large skillet over MED to MED-HIGH heat. Add patties to pan, making sure they aren't touching (you may have to cook in batches), and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to a temperature of 165 degrees F.

Repeat with remaining patties.
