Ingredients
Homemade Turkey Sausage
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 pinch cloves
Bell Peppers and Onions

- 1 Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 tbsp Fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
Prepare Sausage Patties
- Measure all herbs and spices in a small bowl and whisk them together.
- Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Spread seasoning blend on top.
- Scrub your hands clean and gently incorporate the seasonings into the ground meat. Do not overmix or the patties will become tough.
- Form 4 (4 oz) patties, or 5 to 6 smaller patties if you prefer a lighter meat portion.
Cook Bell Peppers and Onions
- Heat up a large cast iron pan going on medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats up, thinly slice your onion and bell peppers.
- Add the sliced onion and peppers to the hot, dry pan. Cook them for about 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, toss in the minced garlic, salt, olive oil, and dried oregano (if using). If using fresh oregano, add just before serving.
- Keep cooking the veggies, tossing them often, for another 15-20 minutes. You want the vegetables to be soft and the onions to be nicely caramelized.
- Add the fresh oregano and taste the mixture. (Fresh oregano goes in here if using fresh). Adjust seasonings as needed.
Cook the Sausage
- Cook your sausage patties on a grill lightly brushed with oil, or in a skillet using a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook until no longer pink inside but slightly juicy (about 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness). Do not overcook or they will dry out.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Slice open your buns. Spoon some of the cooked pepper mixture onto the bottom bun. Top it with a sausage patty and then add more peppers. Enjoy!
