What’s this? Another heart-healthy recipe? Why, yes! As much as I love decadent entrees and ooey-gooey desserts, it’s not practical to eat like that every day. Truth is, I love to eat as much as I love to cook, so keeping snacks such as these spicy turkey sausage patties on hand helps keep me in line. Having baggies of them in the fridge makes for an easy, lean-protein snack any time of day–and it really does stave off hunger.
This is a recipe adapted from one that comes with the Six Week Body Makeover. The sausage is low in sodium and in fat, yet packed with lots of flavor. These sausage patties take virtually no time to throw together, and they can be eaten like this, or sometimes we make larger patties and serve them like turkey burgers. Either way, the recipe is sure to be a hit.
In a large bowl, mix together the chicken broth with all the seasonings.
Add the ground turkey and stir until thoroughly blended. Let this rest for a few minutes.
Divide the mixture into 10 patties. Spray a non-stick skillet with a little cooking spray, then over medium-high heat, brown the patties on each side.
Serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp basil
- 20 oz ground turkey
- In a large bowl, mix together the chicken broth and seasonings. Stir in the turkey and mix well. Let the mixture site for about 20 minutes.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 10 patties. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray, and cook over medium-high heat for about 7-9 minutes on each side, or until done.

I also like to make my own turkey sausage. Great idea to add chicken broth for a bit more moisture.
thanks the broth really does help keep the juice in!
These patties look so delicious and juicy! I never add broth or stock to my patties, and I think I will try it next time. I have a pack of ground turkey in the freezer, and I will try this recipe with it. Love the spice combo too 🙂
thanks! the broth really helps keep it juicy, especially if you use ground turkey breast

Try adding a couple of Tablespoons of tomato paste! Gives it some zest and heartiness!
oooh yum! Next time I make these I’ll try it!
Followed recipe to the tee. Just didn’t do it for me. It’s missing something.
Hi Rob–sorry to hear it didn’t work out! Could it simply be the lack of salt? I know that can be an adjustment… then once I got used to unsalted foods, everything started tasting too salty to me!
where can i buy spicy turkey breakfast sausage
