If you like the taste of sausage, but need to cut back on fat, ground turkey breast offers a healthy substitute. A generous combination of herbs provides sausage flavor. I added 1/4 tsp. more salt and 2 cloves of mashed garlic. Instead of 2 egg whites I added 1 whole egg. I used 60% whole wheat bread for the fresh bread crumbs, whizzed in my food processor.. My husband thought he was eating sausage. The One-Day-at-a- Time Low-Fat Cookbook. Ingredients:
1 lb skinless ground turkey breast |
2 egg whites, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb |
3/4 teaspoon crumbled dried sage |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 dash of grated nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, a dash if you like it less spicy (cayenne) |
parsley sprig (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Combine ground turkey, egg whites, bread crumbs, sage, coriander, fennel seeds, salt, marjoram, thyme, paprika, black pepper, nutmeg and hot pepper in a medium size bowl.
2. Form into 4 patties.
3. Wet hands before making them, they are easier to form.
4. Cook in a lightly oiled, medium size nonstick skillet 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned.
5. Turn and brown remaining sides until patties are cooked through.
6. Serve garnished with parsley.
