Ingredients:
Turkey Apple Sausage
1 pound ground turkey
1 red delicious apple, peeled,

2 large cloves garlic, finely
chopped and divided into
2 portions
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1⁄8 teaspoon ground coriander
nonstick cooking spray

Breakfast Sandwich:
2 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
6 whole wheat English muffins
6 slices tomato

Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, apple, one garlic clove, thyme, red pepper flakes, sage, ground black pepper, and coriander; mix well.

2. Form the turkey mixture into 8 patties (set aside 2 patties for the Dirty Rice and Blackeye Peas recipe on page 32).

3. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

4. Cook patties until they are cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Set aside.

5. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and sauté the remaining garlic for 3 minutes.

6. Add mushrooms and onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

7. Cut each English muffin in half. Place a Turkey Apple Sausage patty, 1⁄3 cup of mushroom-onion mixture, and a slice of tomato on 6 English muffin halves.

8. Cover each sandwich with the other English muffin half and enjoy!
