Start your morning with these savory-sweet AIP Maple Breakfast Sausages! Made with ground turkey, maple syrup, and fresh thyme, these patties are flavorful, easy to make, and perfect for anyone following the Autoimmune Protocol or looking for a wholesome breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, maple syrup, garlic, thyme, and sea salt. Use a spoon to mix initially, then your hands to ensure everything is evenly combined.
  2. Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into small round patties about ½–¾ inch thick and 2 inches wide. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking.
  3. Cook the Sausages: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Cook for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. Serve Warm: Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and serve immediately.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Pair with roasted sweet potatoes or sautéed greens for a hearty breakfast. Fresh fruit like berries adds a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Keep the meat mixture cold for easier shaping.
  • Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months (separate layers with parchment paper).
  • Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side or cook frozen patties over low heat with a lid until warmed through.
