The savory rosemary flavor makes this Turkey Breakfast Sausage something you'll want on the menu every week. It's a protein-packed healthy breakfast option that's easy to mix together. You'll find 2 meal prepping options below to make this even easier. Ground turkey is a lean protein option, but you can also use ground pork here as well in this homemade sausage recipe.
optional: 1 tbsp olive oil, it browns a bit better this way
Instructions
Mix together all the ingredients listed until the herbs have been completely mixed in.
Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or 1 day before using. This allows the flavors of the herbs to sink in. You can cook it right away, but it's better after it sits.
When you're ready to use the sausage, portion it into 4-8 patties, depending on the size you like. Cook the patties in a cast iron pan with a touch of oil until browned on each side. This takes about 8 minutes on medium heat.
Or if you want to freeze the sausage for future use, portion out the patties. Place them on a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze them until firm. When the patties are frozen, place them in an airtight container, and store them in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.

Notes
I changed a couple of measurements compared to my original version so you can scale the recipe even easier. I had several taste testers try the new version and no one can tell the difference in flavor, but it's much easier to make big batches now!The nutritional facts were calculated without the optional oil and without whatever you use in the pan to fry them.
