Artificial Food Coloring Free Paleo Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
Mornings get a serious upgrade when breakfast sausage is this fragrant and satisfying. Ground turkey gets seasoned with sage, fennel, smoked paprika, and garlic, creating patties that smell incredible in the pan and taste even better on the plate. Store-bought breakfast sausage is one of those sneaky products that can hide synthetic dyes and artificial colorings in the seasoning blends ā making homemade the obvious move if you're keeping things clean. Every single ingredient here is a whole food or a pure spice, so you know exactly what's going into each patty. Avocado oil gives the outsides a gorgeous golden crust while keeping the inside juicy, and the optional red pepper flakes add just enough heat to wake you up. These come together with minimal effort and cook up in under ten minutes, making them a realistic weekday option, not just a weekend project.
