Hazelnut Free Paleo Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
Mornings get a serious upgrade when breakfast sausage is this fragrant, satisfying, and genuinely clean. Ground turkey gets seasoned with sage, crushed fennel seeds, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, creating that classic savory-sweet sausage flavor without any mystery fillers or preservatives hiding in the mix. A quick sear in avocado oil gives each patty a deep golden crust that's hard to beat straight out of the skillet. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there's zero guesswork about what you're actually eating ā no processed blends, no shared-facility seasoning packets, nothing to second-guess. These patties are naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so if hazelnut cross-contact in store-bought sausage has ever been a concern, making your own is the cleanest solution. They cook up in under ten minutes per batch and pair beautifully with eggs, roasted sweet potato, or really anything else on your breakfast plate.
