turkey sausage patties

My favorite ground meat is definitely turkey: a lean, mean, flavor-melding machine. Ground turkey is a great heart-healthy substitute for any recipe that calls for ground beef really. As long as turkey is spiced correctly, you could trick any beef lover into thinking any chili or even this sausage is nice 'n beefy.

Ingredients (adapted from this for 8 patties):
2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp hot chili flakes
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp herbs de provence
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 lb ground turkey
4 tsp maple syrup
2 tbs olive oil

Directions:
1. Crush & combine all herbs and spices in a medium-sized bowl. 
  

2. Mix in the turkey & maple syrup until evenly combined.
 

3. Heat olive oil over med-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Form multiple patties and push down to make thin. Cook on one side for 2 minutes and then flip.
 

4. Cook for another 4 minutes.
 

5. Place patties on tin foiled-baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven of 325F while you make egg sandwiches or the remainder of the meal.
 

 

6. Once finished completing the remainder of the dish (I made an egg & cheddar sandwich drizzled in more syrup), add delicious sausage and enjoy!

brunch hash

As you may already know, brunch is my favorite meal: it is saved for the end of the week and can be spread throughout many hours (and it has multiple signature cocktails reserved for this specific meal)...perfection. This recipe for brunch hash is a combination of whatever leftover vegetables you may have in your pantry from earlier in the week. It is a combination of all of your favorite brunch foods put together in tiny bites to ensure a full-taste in one fork-full. 

 

Ingredients (for 1 serving):

2 eggs

1 small potato

1/2 medium red onion

Handful of herbs (I used chives and thyme)

1 pinch of shredded cheese

*Feel free to add bacon, ham, mushrooms, or any other tasty bit you'd like!*

 

Directions:

1. Heat skillet over medium heat. Cube potato into small fork-able bits and dice onion. Add potato and onion to skillet in an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Salt and pepper.

 2. After about 4 minutes, begin to stir in order to evenly brown. Once browned and crispy, add half of the chopped herbs of choice in order to meld the basic flavors.

3. Once herbs begin to wilt and cling to the potatoes and onions, add the eggs. Cook until no longer runny. Add pinch of cheese and remainder of herbs. I like to break up my egg into little bits, to give all of the components an equal opportunity to be tasted in one forkful!

 

4. Serve and enjoy!

 

 This is a great recipe for a large group, since it can be easily multiplied & customized, and takes under 15 minutes to make!
