These turkey sausage breakfast patties are more tender, like meatballs, thanks to the soaked breadcrumbs. And unlike store-bought, you control the ingredients to ensure they are dairy-free, and allergy-friendly as needed. In the morning, we prefer homemade sausage like this. It tastes cleaner, and far less processed, than pre-made brands.

This healthy, lean breakfast sausage is very easy to make. I prefer to use 90% lean ground turkey for more tender results. If you use ground turkey breast, the patties will be a little drier. If preferred, you can use all or part lean ground pork instead!
