How to Make Homemade Breakfast Sausage
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground meat turkey, beef, chicken, or pork (see note in the post about meat options)
- ½ c shredded apple
- 2 Tb fresh minced parsley
- 1 Tb fresh minced sage
- 1 Tb whole grain mustard country style Dijon
- 1 clove garlic minced (or grated for stronger garlic flavor)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves minced
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds crushed
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon not typical baking cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the ground meat in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle all of the remaining ingredients all over it.
- Using your hands, work it all together until it is just combined. Over-working ground meats can make them tough.
- Use the sausage as you wish.
Notes
If you are cooking the sausage as patties or as browned bulk sausage, I recommend adding a little healthy cooking fat to the pan. This sausage (no matter what kind of meat you choose to use) will be much leaner that typical store-bought bulk sausage.
The ground apple helps keep the meat moist while cooking.
