Instructions
Combine ground turkey, egg whites, bread crumbs, sage, coriander, fennel seeds, salt, marjoram, thyme, paprika, black pepper, nutmeg and hot pepper in a medium size bowl. Form into 4 patties. Wet hands before making them, they are easier to form. Cook in a lightly oiled, medium size nonstick skillet 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn and brown remaining sides until patties are cooked through. Serve garnished with parsley. Makes 4 servings.

If you like the taste of sausage, but need to cut back on fat, ground turkey breast offers a healthy substitute. A generous combination of herbs provides “sausage” flavor. I added ¼ tsp. more salt and 2 cloves of mashed garlic. Instead of 2 egg whites I added 1 whole egg. I used 60% whole wheat bread for the fresh bread crumbs, whizzed in my food processor.. My husband thought he was eating sausage.
