Method

Step 1: Season the turkey

Add the sausage seasonings to the ground turkey: grated or ground clove, grated garlic, sage, thyme, fennel seeds, black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt. Lightly mix to combine.

Step 2: Sear & smash turkey patties

Form the turkey sausage into two balls which we will be smashing in the skillet.

To cook, set a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil to the spatula. Once ripping hot, drop the sausage balls in and let for just 20 seconds before flipping over and smashing down to the size of a patty. Let those sear on each side so a crust can develop.

Once the sausages are mostly cooked, drizzle them with maple syrup. This adds a hint of sweetness and helps the edges.

Step 3: Scramble the eggs

Gently scramble 2 eggs until they're slightly underdone. Shape the eggs into two portions and sprinkle black pepper on top before removing them from the heat.

Step 4: Assemble & serve

Toast each side of an English muffin to your liking.

To assemble the sandwiches, drizzle a bit of ketchup to the bottom before adding the sausage patties, followed by the egg, and finally half a slice of cheese. Place these under the for 30 seconds until the cheese melts. Add the top slice of the English muffin, close, and enjoy.

“The humble sausage egg and cheese is a great breakfast. This healthier version uses lean ground turkey and 100-calorie English muffins.”

FAQ

Could I change the size of the turkey patties?

Yes - if you want smaller patties, split the turkey into 4 patties instead of 2.

Are you using specific English muffins?

While any English muffin works for the recipe, I try to find the low-cal packs where each one is only 100 calories.
