Egg & Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich
Efrata
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 lb (450g) 99% lean turkey
- 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp pepper, divided
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp red wine
- Cooking food
- 6 eggs
- 6 full English muffins
- 3 small tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add olive oil, onion and garlic. Repeat frequently until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 min. Add the fennel seeds, and stir for another minute. Allow the mixture to cool and transfer to a bowl.
Add the ground turkey, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, oregano and red wine vinegar to the onion mixture. Using a fork or fingers, mix the ingredients until well combined. Form the meat mixture into six patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat, and sprinkle the surface with cooking water. Cook in batches of 2 or 3 patties for about 5 minutes on each side until the meat forms a golden brown, or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Transfer the patties to a separate plate.
Crack the eggs into one skillet, spacing them at least 1 inch (2.54cm) apart, and cook over medium heat until the whites begin to set, about 3 minutes. Gently turn each egg and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Spread one egg over each patty and season with salt and pepper. Do this in batches.
Toast English muffin, and assemble a sandwich with sausage patty, fried egg and sliced tomato.
TIPS TO USE: If you want to freeze these turkey sausage patties for another meal, place a square of parchment paper between each patty to keep them from sticking together. Then put them in a ziplock bag and freeze.
