These sausage patties are absolutely delicious!

They make a great weekend breakfast — or you can whip up a batch as part of your meal prep and enjoy them all week long!

TIP: When you form the patties, make sure the blueberries are tucked safely inside. Otherwise, during cooking, they can end up in the pan instead of in the sausage patties!

Sweet & Savory Blueberry Breakfast Sausage

(makes 8 sausage patties)

• 1 lb (455 g) ground turkey
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp dried sage
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• Sprinkle of cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 tsp olive oil

Place the turkey, garlic, maple syrup, spices, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix together until combined. Gently add the blueberries, stirring until they become incorporated into the meat mixture.

Divide the meat into 8 equal-sized portions (divide in half, then in half, and in half again), and form into patties about 1 cm thick (about ½ inch).

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the sausage patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side (until they are browned and cooked through).

Yum! Serve with your favorite toast or with eggs (or both).
