Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. pork sausage
  • 1 lb. turkey sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 3 oz. cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350º F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine pork sausage, turkey sausage, one egg, 2 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, 3 oz. shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 teaspoon olive oil. Mix thoroughly with your hands (I like to wear gloves for this part but that's personal preference!).
  • I like to use a cookie scoop for this step — I do heaping tablespoon size balls then flatten into patties, and bake for 15-20 minutes. I use a meat thermometer to ensure that they're cooked to at least 160º for food safety!
  • I keep a few in the fridge but then flash freeze most of them for easy to grab breakfast for us and the kids. Re-heat for 45 seconds in the microwave and voila!

Notes

  • Not a cheese fan? Feel free to omit! I add it for my cheese-loving family. 
  • These work well with homemade breakfast sandwiches — toast up an english muffin, fry up an egg, top with cheese and voila! If you're feeling extra ambitious you could meal prep a bunch of full sandwiches, then wrap in foil and freeze. I used to do this when we were childfree and living in Brooklyn, but haven't gotten back to that just quite. Maybe this is the year!
  • You could use 2 tablespoon of brown sugar in place of the maple syrup, if you don't have any.
