Make Homemade Turkey Sausage!
By Laura on May 12, 2008 in Eating Healthy, Recipes
We LOVE ham and sausage at our house…but from what I read, pork is not the best for you. This Turkey Sausage is a delicious alternative…it’s easy and it tastes great!
See…it looks like sausage and everything?! My kids devour this sausage!
Homemade Turkey Sausage
1 lb ground turkey
3 T. minced onion
¼ t. cumin
¼ t. marjoram
¼ t. ground pepper
¼ t. oregano
¼ t. ground nutmeg
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
¼ t. ground ginger
½ t. dried basil
½ t. thyme
½ t. sage
2 t. sea salt
1 egg
2 T. butter
Mix all ingredients. Chill for about an hour. (If you forget to chill this ahead of time…it cooks up okay anyway!) Form into patties. Saute in butter.

Could you explain why you think pork is not good for you? I have heard several people say the same things lately but do not know what the explanation is behind it.

I’ll try to work that information into my “Getting Real About Food” series!

Oh yummy!
I have an old recipe for this but it’s not near as good as yours sounds!!! Your recipe uses several more spices that sound wonderful!
Can’t wait to try it!
My kids and DH, have been getting a kick out of your Peanut Butter Raisin Balls…I’ve made them 3 times in the last week or two!…as a matter of fact..shhh….there’s 4 “hiding” in the fridge right now..shh!;-)

Thanks for your recipe…I’ve created several sausage recipes so I can use ground beef instead of pork (my husband loves pork, but I try to sneak other meats in instead), so I’m REALLY happy to try another sausage recipe. Always looking for the perfect recipe! I’ll try it with turkey too.
And my other favorite thing is to make breakfast for dinner…since I don’t have time to make a five-course breakfast in the morning.

Oh wow! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I’m eager to try it. I love sausage but have given up pork for the same reason. I’ve been eating the veggie sausage, which isn’t horrible, but it’s not great either.

Yummy! This looks good! I’ll have to try it when I make sausage gravy next time. Only I’ll probably add some red pepper flakes, ’cause we like our sausage spicy!
