Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for cooking, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with salt, black pepper, ground sage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, thyme, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the turkey.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil if desired to prevent sticking or for additional flavor.
Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Serve immediately as part of a breakfast plate with eggs or alongside your favorite sides. You can also store the cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
