Mornings get a serious upgrade when breakfast sausage is this fragrant and satisfying right out of the skillet. Ground turkey gets seasoned with sage, crushed fennel seeds, smoked paprika, and garlic powder — a combination that smells incredible as it hits the hot pan and tastes even better on the plate. Store-bought breakfast sausage is notorious for sneaking in fillers, binders, and grain-based extenders, but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward. Avocado oil gives each patty a gorgeous golden crust, and cooking them to 165°F ensures they're perfectly done without drying out. The red pepper flakes are optional, so you can dial the heat up or down depending on who's at the table. Eight patties come together quickly, making this just as practical for a weekday grab-and-go as it is for a leisurely weekend breakfast spread.

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.
