Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1.5 tsp Ground sage
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 tsp Dried thyme
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, olive oil, and maple syrup.
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground sage, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried thyme to the bowl.
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients together until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, cook the patties in batches, about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side to eggs, pancakes, or any of your favorite breakfast dishes.
