Believe it or not, many sausages do contain dairy and other top allergens. But you can make your own at home! These Basic Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties are easy, healthier, and they taste fresher.
Homemade Sausage Patty Recipe Tips
Complimentary Spices – This recipe is modestly seasoned with a hint of sage and a little spice. You can add more seasonings if you like. Some that go well include marjoram, thyme, fennel seed, ground nutmeg, or more sage. I usually avoid onion and garlic in the morning, but you might like adding a little garlic or onion powder.
Choosing Your Meat – You can use ground chicken or ground turkey. But I do recommend going for 93/7 or 90/10. Leaner meat won’t be as tender.
