Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (85% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, dried thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until they are evenly incorporated, but do not overmix to avoid tough patties.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Work in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with eggs, toast, or your preferred breakfast sides. These patties can also be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months for meal prep.
