Breakfast Sausage Patties

This breakfast sausage recipe is compliments of Rachael Ray. We really enjoy these and they are much better for you than the commercial packages of sausage. Using ground chicken (or turkey) keeps them low fat, too! Enjoy!

Breakfast Sausage Patties

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 small apple, peeled and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Spice
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (*optional - I always omit)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• Splash olive oil

1. In a large bowl, gently mix together all ingredients, except the oil, using your hands. Divide into 4 even sections and form each into a patty.

2. Heat a splash of oil in a large, non-stick skillet, over med-high heat. Place patties in oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side (or until patty is fully cooked through).

3. Serve on a homemade english muffin or with a side of pancakes and/or eggs. ENJOY!
