Delicious sausage, and I know exactly what's in it! Add to pretty much anything you would add meat to spice it up a bit or enjoy by itself.

I did try this recipe. It was easy and quick! I did tweek it a bit by adding in some coriander, dry mustard, cayenne and liquid smoke. I refrigerated the meat for 30 minutes before shaping the patties. Last but not least, I baked them on parchment for 15 - 20 minutes, flipping them after 10. Be careful not to overcook them. Turkey dries out fast. They were awesome. Thank you for a great recipe. Read More

Too mild for my wife & me. I broke my own rule by not making and tasting one patty first to see if the recipe needed adjusting. Had I done that I would have added more of everything. Read More

Amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for to convert turkey patties mistakenly bought into turkey sausages. I was skeptical, but the patties came out tasting exactly like sausage, even though I didn't quite have all the ingredients (ground sage instead of crushed, coriander instead of nutmeg). I will probably never buy turkey sausage again, because this is so fresh and delicious -- and easy. Read More

I just used pork and upped the sage for a "Sage sausage" for stuffing for Thanksgiving. But this is a fine base recipe for homemade sausage. Read More

I made evaporated milk gravy with it! I used refined coconut oil mixed in the ground turkey with the spice. so I would have some yummy fat to add to the gravy! Read More

Made some adjustments to spices as we like it hotter and spicier. Lowered salt to 3/4 teaspoon increased red pepper flakes to 3/4 teaspoon, 2 pinches of ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons of black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sage and added 1/2 teaspoon of ground fennel seeds. The base recipe gave me all the right spices to make delicious turkey sausage! Read More
