This one is going out by request. On my friend's facebook post, her friend asked if anyone had a recipe for breakfast sausage that did not use pork. This turkey sausage recipe is useful for people looking for food free of chemicals. Plus it just tastes great. I've even had my 'teen nephew tell me, "It tastes like real sausage." It makes a wonderful addition to a big weekend breakfast and I have also made it ahead for a special brunch and kept it warmed in the crockpot. The longer you let the sage sit the more flavorful the sausage becomes. The recipe can be made with fresh sage. I've only used dried and have been satisfied with the results.
Breakfast Turkey Sausage
Adapted from the Beat the Yeast Cookbook by Charlene Grimmett
1 pound ground turkey
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon dried sage OR 10-12 fresh sage leaves, minced
Mix turkey with salt, pepper and sage. Use a fork or a food processor for less than one minute. Shape into 6 thin patties or several links. Fry or bake until browned. You can freeze the sausages, either raw or cooked, for future breakfasts.

Thank you so much. I was the one that wanted a non-pork breakfast sausage recipe :) I am so glad you got to a post for it.
