Ingredients
- 1½ teaspoons fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 2 pounds dark meat ground turkey (not 99% lean)
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Toast the fennel seeds in a pan over medium low heat until fragrant. Add to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind to a powder. Add the turkey to a mixing bowl along with the ground fennel seeds, pepper, sage, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, cloves, salt, maple syrup, and olive oil. Mix until well-incorporated, and chill overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- Using wet hands (to prevent sticking), form into 16 patties and fry in a lightly oiled pan over medium high heat until browned and crispy.
- To store the sausage for later use, form into patties and place raw patties between squares of parchment paper. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Cook patties directly from frozen, no need to thaw!
