Turkey Apple Sausage

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 red delicious apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped and divided into 2 portions
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground coriander
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Breakfast Sandwich

  • 2½ cups chopped mushrooms
  • 1½ cups chopped onions
  • 6 whole wheat English muffins
  • 6 slices tomato

  1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, apple, one garlic clove, thyme, red pepper flakes, sage, ground black pepper, and coriander; mix well.
  2. Form the turkey mixture into 8 patties (set aside 2 patties for the Dirty Rice and Blackeye Peas recipe).
  3. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  4. Cook patties until they are cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Set aside.
  5. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and sauté the remaining garlic for 3 minutes.
  6. Add mushrooms and onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

  8. Cover each sandwich with the other English muffin half and enjoy!
