Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh sage (chopped)
- 1 tsp Ground thyme
- 1 tsp Ground fennel seeds
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced apple, garlic, sage, thyme, fennel seeds, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2.5 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately or allow the sausages to cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
