Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme or parsley into the sausage mixture. If you're out of dry bread crumbs, crushed crackers or oats can work as substitutes. To make these patties leaner, you could use ground chicken instead of turkey, keeping the other flavors intact for delicious breakfast sausage.
Serving Suggestions

For a fun twist, try adding them to a breakfast burrito or sandwich. You can also enjoy them in a breakfast bowl with sautéed vegetables for a wholesome meal.
