Description

These Spicy Sausage Patties offer a lighter, herbaceous twist on traditional breakfast sausage. Ground turkey is blended with roasted poblano chili, fresh cilantro, parsley, and a blend of warm spices like cumin and cloves for a complex flavor profile. The addition of romaine lettuce adds a unique, subtle crunch and freshness. Perfect for a protein-packed weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast, these patties are low in fat but high in flavor. They pair beautifully with eggs, toast, or as part of a hearty breakfast burrito. The mixture can be prepped ahead and refrigerated to let the flavors meld, ensuring every bite is richly seasoned.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a food processor, combine the roasted poblano chili, cilantro, parsley, romaine lettuce, bay leaf, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and cloves.
  2. Process the mixture until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Scrape the vegetable mixture into a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Add the lean ground turkey to the bowl.
  5. Using your hands, gently mix the turkey and vegetable mixture until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and form it into six 3-inch patties.
  9. Place the patties in the skillet and fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through.
  10. Serve the patties immediately while hot.

Note

Storage: Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warm.

Make Ahead: You can form the patties and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the cook time.

Substitutions: If you do not have roasted poblano chilies, you can use roasted jalapeos for more heat or Anaheim peppers for a milder flavor. Feel-free to adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking Tip: Ensure the turkey is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165F (74C) with a meat thermometer.
