Making your own sausage isn't hard. If I can do it so can you. You don't even have to run out and get some crazy-fangled sausage stuffer. Unless you really, really want to. Do like I do.

Make patties instead. xo

Karina's Maple Apple Breakfast Sausage Recipe

I used a blend of organic antibiotic-free ground turkey and pork for my ground meat blend. The apple and maple gives these sausages an old fashioned, homey breakfast flavor. If you'd prefer to keep them pork-free, just use turkey.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground organic turkey

1 pound ground organic pork

1 large apple, peeled, cored and diced very fine

2 tablespoons finely minced sweet onion

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup- the good stuff

1-2 teaspoons fennel seed, to taste

1 teaspoon ground sage

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl till blended; and form 15 balls with the mixture. Pat into patties.

Fry the patties in a skillet (I used my trusty well seasoned iron skillet) on each side, until golden brown on both sides and done in the middle. Depending upon the thickness of the sausage and the heat of your pan this can take anywhere from 12 to 15 minutes.

Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite egg dish, waffles, pancakes- you name it.

Store leftover sausages- when completely cool- by bagging and freezing them in a freezer bag or freezer storage container.

Makes about 15 sausage patties. Not too big. Not too small. Just right.
