Why Make This Recipe

Air Fryer Turkey Breakfast Sausage is a tasty and healthier alternative to traditional sausage. Using ground turkey instead of pork decreases the fat and calorie content, making it a great choice for those looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast without the guilt. Plus, it’s quick and easy to prepare in an air fryer, which ensures you get a delicious, crispy texture with minimal fuss.

How to Make Air Fryer Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey (light or dark meat)
1 tbsp. light brown sugar
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh sage leaves
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, brown sugar, sage, salt, paprika, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and garlic powder. Use a fork or your hands to mix until everything is evenly combined.
Using damp hands, form the turkey mixture into 8 thin patties that are about 3 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Keep in mind that the meat will puff up as it cooks in the air fryer.
Grease the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.
Arrange the patties in the basket, making sure to leave about 1/4 inch space between each one. Do not overcrowd the basket.
Cook the patties at 400°F, flipping them halfway through. Cook until they are golden and crisp, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

How to Serve Air Fryer Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Serve these tasty turkey breakfast sausages with some scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh fruit for a complete breakfast. They also make a great addition to breakfast sandwiches or can be enjoyed on their own as a snack.

How to Store Air Fryer Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Store any leftover turkey sausage patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing the cooked patties.

Tips to Make Air Fryer Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Make sure to use damp hands when forming the patties to prevent sticking.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your taste.
If you prefer a less sweet flavor, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar used.

Variation

You can customize the spices and herbs to suit your taste. For instance, you could add some thyme or replace sage with another herb you enjoy. Adding diced onions or bell peppers can also create a delicious twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use ground chicken instead of turkey?
Yes, you can use ground chicken as a substitute. The flavor and texture will be similar.

2. Can I cook these sausages in a conventional oven?
Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the sausages on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

3. How can I make these sausages ahead of time?
You can prepare the turkey mixture and form the patties ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a day before cooking. Alternatively, you can freeze the uncooked patties and cook them from frozen when you’re ready to eat.
