Most store-bought breakfast sausage is loaded with fillers, preservatives, and sneaky sweeteners that have no business being in your morning meal. This homemade version skips all of that ā every single ingredient is clean, whole, and exactly what it sounds like. Ground turkey gets seasoned with sage, fennel, smoked paprika, and a handful of other pantry spices that come together into something genuinely craveable. The fennel and smoked paprika do a lot of heavy lifting here, giving these patties that classic savory-smoky depth you expect from a great breakfast sausage without any added sugar in sight. Avocado oil keeps things paleo-friendly and gives each patty a beautifully golden crust when cooked in a hot skillet. The whole process is straightforward ā mix, press, sear ā and you end up with eight satisfying patties that are just as good meal-prepped ahead as they are fresh off the pan. Pair them with eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, or whatever else is on your morning plate.
