Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork or turkey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground sage
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, ground sage, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes or until it begins to brown.
Sprinkle the pre-mixed spices evenly over the meat, stirring thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.
Pour the 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet to help distribute the spices evenly and keep the meat moist.
Continue to cook the sausage for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Remove from heat and let the sausage crumbles cool slightly before serving.
Use as a topping for pizzas, in omelets, or in breakfast bowls as desired.
