#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the sausage mixture:**
– In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sage, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well with your hands or a spoon until all the spices are evenly incorporated into the meat.
2. **Form the patties:**
– Divide the turkey mixture into small portions (about 8-10) and form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
3. **Cook the sausage patties:**
– Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey sausage patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
– Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
4. **Serve:**
– Serve the turkey breakfast sausage patties hot alongside your favorite breakfast items like eggs, toast, or fruit.
These turkey sausage patties are a leaner, healthier alternative to traditional pork sausage, and they’re packed with flavor! You can also freeze them after cooking for an easy meal prep option.
