Dairy Free Paleo Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
Mornings get a serious upgrade when breakfast sausage is this flavorful and this easy to pull off. Ground turkey gets seasoned with a punchy blend of sage, fennel, smoked paprika, and garlic, giving you that classic savory sausage taste without any dairy or mystery fillers. Fennel seeds and smoked paprika do a lot of heavy lifting here ā they add depth and a subtle smokiness that makes these patties taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Avocado oil gives each patty a gorgeous, golden-brown crust in the skillet, and the whole process from mixing bowl to plate is refreshingly straightforward. Store-bought breakfast sausages can be a minefield of added dairy, fillers, and preservatives, so making your own means you know exactly what's going in. These patties work beautifully alongside eggs, tucked into a lettuce wrap, or meal-prepped ahead for busy weekday mornings.
