I love having this on hand for breakfast. You can also use this as the sausage for Sausage and Peppers from Tuesday’s post at Once a Month Mom. If you like a spicy sausage, add a generous pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. If you like it a bit sweeter, add 2 Tablespoons maple syrup. Do not use the really low fat ground turkey, or the sausage will be too dry.
Turkey Sausage
20 oz. package ground turkey
4 Tablespoons finely minced onion
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon thyme
3/4 teaspoon sage
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg, optional
Mix all ingredients. Shape into patties. I usually use about 1/4 to 1/3 scoop to divide the meat. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap or parchment. Place into the coldest part of the freezer. After the sausage patties have frozen, place them into a freezer bag or container separated with waxed paper. Remove as much air as possible, seal and freeze.
To serve: Thaw or cook from frozen. Put into a skillet that is lightly oiled. Cook until golden on each side and cooked through.

Angela,
You mentioned in your class at Lakewinds that you use Coconut oil when cooking at home. Any particular reason why? I bought my new cookware (I’m sure my nonstick was making me sick!) and was curious about your choice.
Thanks!
Amanda
I use coconut oil a lot to saute with as it is very heat stable, so it does not transform to trans fatty acids when cooked at higher temps. I also like that coconut oil is made of medium-chain fatty acids, is anti-viral, and has been shown to increase metabolic function – all things which my family can use.
We need to do another freezer meal date. I want to make this. I just bought fresh ground turkey.
Yes! Let’s talk about it tonight and set up a date. I love our freezer meal parties!
If I want to make this same day should I put it in the freezer or fridge?
You can form them and cook them up right away, or cover them and stick them in the fridge if you are planning on cooking them later in the day. Enjoy!
