Healthy Homestyle Country Sausage Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey breast, see * Note
1 medium apple, peeled, cored,
and finely shredded
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
2 tbsp shredded onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp ground sage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Snipped fresh parsley, (optional)

Instructions:

* Note: To make sure you're buying the leanest ground turkey available,
check the label. Look for products made with only turkey breast meat.
Many ground turkey products contain the dark meat and the fatty skin.
In a large bowl, stir together the turkey, apples, rice, onions and garlic.
In a small bowl, stir together the sage, salt, red and black peppers,
thyme and allspice. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the turkey mixture.
Using your hands, mix until well blended.
Shape the turkey mixture into eight 1/2-inch thick patties. Spray an
unheated large skillet with no-stick spray. Add the patties and cook over
medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn the patties over and cook about 4 minutes
more or until they are no longer pink. Sprinkle with the parsley, if
desired.
This recipe yields 8 patties; 4 servings.
Comments: This breakfast sausage is almost fat-free and tastes so much
like its fatty counterpart that the taste testers kept asking how it was
done.
