turkey sausage

Tyler asked me ages ago to e-mail him our 'recipe' for turkey sausage.

Which isn't so much 'turkey sausage'

as turkey sausage-flavored ground turkey.

I think, anyways.

I'm not sure what qualifies something as a 'sausage'.

hmm.

Aren't ya'll so sad you don't share my brain?!

I'm glad you don't share my brain!

It's pretty obvious there isn't enough to go around...

Anyways.

I finally fulfilled his request.

And since I never want to waste typing up one of my fabulous recipes 

for just one person,

I figured I may as well  torture present you with yet another of my recipes.

Recipe

in the loosest sense of the word.

I do know this.

Without further ado,

Ground Turkey Sausage(ish)

to ground turkey, while it's cooking, (after you've put a splash of EVOO in the pan)

 add

generously - onion powder and season-all*

pretty generously - ground fennel, garlic powder or garlic salt (or mix of both...)

some - ground sage

I'd guess that if it doesn't taste sausage-y, more onion powder, fennel and sage is needed. 

But of course, that's just a guess.....

How would I really know without tasting?

Or at least smelling??

To make as patties: 

add an egg per lb of ground turkey, 

a smidge of olive oil, 

and about 1/4 c ground flax,

all those spices above

 then shape and cook. 

Can also be baked in the oven to free up stove space.

*for all purpose seasoning, 

mix 

2 parts garlic powder, 

1 part onion powder, 

1 part salt, 

1 part paprika, 

1/3ish part parsley - not packed and crushed a bit

and about 1/4 part black pepper

(I use a Good Seasons spice jar as my 'part')

(Paprika is cheapest at Aldi.)

Stay tuned.

Another poor soul friend asked for a recipe, too.

I'll be sure and share that with everyone also.

That one is a little more like a real recipe, though, with measurements and stuff.
