Chicken Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage

These chicken apple maple breakfast sausage patties are easy to make and combine my favorite flavors: apples, maple, and sage. Just mix, scoop, press, and cook. No forming patties or getting your hands all dirty. Just simple ingredients and 15 minutes to make!

Equipment

1 Mixing bowl
1 skillet or frying pan

Ingredients

1 lb. ground chicken
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
¾ cup shredded apple (about one medium apple)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt (reduce to ¾ teaspoon if table salt)
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage (or ½ teaspoon ground sage)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Don't overmix, as this could result in drier patties.
1 lb. ground chicken, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, ¾ cup shredded apple, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon rubbed sage, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Using a spring-loaded scoop (a spoon works too) scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture onto the heated skillet and use the back of the scoop to gently shape into round patties. Repeat until skillet is full. Cook about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned, and flip. Cook an additional 3 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
Repeat until all of the ground chicken mixture has been used. You should get 12 patties.

Notes

A cast iron skillet works best, as it helps these cook evenly and gives them a nice sear, but any skillet/fry pan works.
