Ingredients

3 pounds lean ground turkey
2 teaspoons ginger
4 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons sage
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

Place the ground turkey into a large bowl.
Sprinkle the seasonings over the ground turkey and mix well.
Form the seasoned turkey mixture into patties (about 1/3 cup per patty). Make the patties thin. They'll shrink up slightly during cooking and end up being thick patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with drizzle of olive oil or coconut oil. Once the skillet is hot, place the patties in the skillet and fry on one side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side until no longer pink. Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature. The sausage is done when the temperature is165ºF.

For freezing, place uncooked patties between layers of parchment paper and store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
They can be frozen for up to two months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat on a microwave-safe plate or on the stovetop.
