So, I took it upon myself to make some Italian Turkey Sausage that hardly has a gram of fat, and it's absolutely delicious! All you need is some Ground Turkey, a few spices and TA-DA! You have the perfect sausage! Oh, but the possibilities are endless!

Makes 10 servings, 2oz. Each
Ingredients:
20 oz. Pkg. Ground Turkey (Honeysuckle 99% Fat Free)1 tbsp Parsley Flakes
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Kitchenware:
- Medium Bowl
- Breville Mixer or KitchenAid Mixer (optional)
Preparation:
Place all ingredients in a bowl or mixer and knead really well. You want the turkey to absorb all those spices. If using your hand, this should take you about 3 minutes. If using the mixer about 1 -1/2 minutes. The turkey should come out sticky and gooey like sausage. Uses:
Breakfast Sausage, Burgers, Meatballs, Lasagna, and much, much more!!!
Storage:
I like to make my sausage a day or two before I use it, because the turkey has absorbed the spices and the flavor is much more robust. I store them in the freezer sometimes in a Gladware plastic container like this one.Nutrition Facts:
