Homemade Turkey Sausage
1 lb ground turkey
3 Tablespoon minced onion
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon marjoram
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg
(only some of the ingredients :P )
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.
They turned out really good, although I did not have any marjoram or cayenne pepper. So this is one of those recipes where you can just add what you have on hand and it should be pretty good! (key words: should be) :P
I ended up using about 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey because that's all they had in the packs, and all of the sausage patties still had plenty of spices in them.
There's one spice though that I'm not too crazy about, it's either the Basil or the Oregano, I can't tell which, or maybe both. It seems to over power the other spices.
And next time I make theses I will be sure to have some cayenne pepper, because I think it would make a huge difference in the taste. I also want to try this with ground beef, instead of turkey, because the texture of the turkey is kind of weird. :P I like ground turkey in recipes, it's just different by itself.
