Description

Turkey Breakfast Sausage with Eggs is a healthier take on the classic breakfast, featuring lean ground turkey seasoned with fragrant herbs and spices. This protein-packed meal is quick to prepare, making it ideal for busy mornings, meal prepping, or a satisfying brunch. The savory turkey sausage pairs perfectly with simple pan-cooked eggs, creating a flavorful and balanced dish that supports a nutritious lifestyle.


Ingredients

Turkey Breakfast Sausage

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Eggs

  • 46 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Mixture: In a bowl, combine ground turkey with sage, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix them gently until just combined without overworking the meat to keep the texture tender.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to warm until shimmering but not smoking to ensure even cooking of the sausage.
  3. Cook the Turkey Sausage: Add the seasoned turkey mixture to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon into crumbles. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is fully cooked through and has developed a light golden brown color.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Push the cooked sausage to one side of the skillet. Crack 4 to 6 eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness, whether sunny-side up, over easy, or scrambled, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve Immediately: Plate the cooked turkey sausage alongside the eggs and serve the dish hot for a fulfilling breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with complementary sides like toast, fresh fruit, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • If desired, shape the turkey sausage into individual patties before cooking for a different presentation.
