Mornings get a serious upgrade when you have a stack of these savory turkey patties waiting in the skillet. Ground turkey gets packed with sage, crushed fennel seeds, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, so every bite delivers that classic breakfast sausage flavor without any mystery fillers or additives. Many store-bought sausage products sneak in unexpected oils or binders that can be hard to track down on a label — here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Avocado oil gives the patties a gorgeous, deep golden crust in just a few minutes per side, and cooking to an internal temperature of 165°F means they're perfectly done every time. The spice blend is bold enough to stand on its own but flexible, too — dial back the red pepper flakes for a milder bite or leave them in for a little kick. These patties are equally at home alongside scrambled eggs, tucked into a lettuce wrap, or meal-prepped ahead for a grab-and-go breakfast all week long.

Combine the ground turkey, sage, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 30 seconds — do not overwork.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and press each into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
