Artificial Flavors Free Paleo Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
Store-bought breakfast sausage is one of those products where the ingredient list can spiral fast ā natural flavors, artificial smoke, mystery seasonings, and fillers that have no business being in your morning meal. These turkey patties are built entirely from whole spices you can see and smell: earthy sage, lightly crushed fennel seeds, smoked paprika, and a touch of garlic and onion powder for depth. The result is a savory, slightly smoky patty with a gorgeous golden crust that tastes like it came from a serious breakfast spot, not a freezer bag. Avocado oil gives you a clean, high-heat sear that locks in the juices without any processed cooking sprays or additives. Mixing the spices by hand and pressing the patties to an even thickness means every bite is consistent, and cooking to 165Ā°F keeps everything safe without drying out the turkey. These are the kind of patties that make a simple egg-and-vegetable breakfast feel like a full, satisfying spread.
