Xanthan Gum Free Paleo Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
These savory breakfast patties are proof that a satisfying morning meal doesn't need a long ingredient list or any specialty binders to come together beautifully. Ground turkey gets seasoned with a bold, aromatic blend of sage, fennel, smoked paprika, and garlic, delivering that classic breakfast sausage flavor without any fillers or additives you'd find in store-bought versions. Many commercial sausage patties sneak in stabilizers and thickeners that can be hard to track down on a label ā here, every single ingredient is visible, whole, and intentional. A quick sear in avocado oil gives each patty a deep golden crust that locks in the juices, so you get a satisfying bite from edge to center. The fennel seeds are the quiet hero of this recipe, adding a subtle sweetness that makes the whole thing taste like it came from a proper butcher counter. These work beautifully alongside eggs, tucked into a lettuce wrap, or eaten straight off the plate on a busy weekday morning.
