One of our favorite things to add to our eggs in the mornings is chicken apple sausage. We found this at Walmart about a year ago and love it. This summer, we realized it tastes even better when cooked on the grill. Problem is, it’s sausage and more processed than what we really want to eat. For years, I have been making turkey breakfast sausage so I decided to Google homemade chicken apple sausage, and I found a wonderful, easy recipe.
Ingredients
- For recipe click HERE.
- Coconut oil
- Yellow onion
- Apples — We used Granny Smith Apples
- Ground chicken
- Ground sage
- Fennel seeds- We did not have these so I just left them out.
- Salt and pepper
- Smoked paprika
- Cayenne pepper
Stacy’s Suggestions and Preparation
- We followed the recipe through that link without the fennel seeds. I am not sure if the seeds would help the patties stick together better or not. I did try sprinkling a few bread crumbs into the recipe the other morning, but it didn’t seem to help.
- We added 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- We also added 1/2 cup of mushrooms
- We pan-fried the onion, apple, mushrooms
- Then we mixed it all together
- Then made it into patties and pan-fried it in the same pan for a few minutes on each side.
Although it’s not the same as sausage links, it does the job for us. Like we said in previous posts, there are good, better, and best options. In this case, chicken apple sausage is better for you than beef sausage, whereas homemade chicken apple sausage is the best option, and you can eat it every week if you choose!
