Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (or low-sodium ground pork)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 cup Oats
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, ground black pepper, ground sage, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oats, and applesauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place them in the refrigerator while preparing the pancakes.

Step 3

For the pancake batter, in another bowl whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well blended.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.

Step 7

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 pancakes.

Step 8

In another skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

In the same skillet, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.

Step 10

Assemble the McGriddle by placing one sausage patty on a pancake, top with a fried egg, then sandwich with another pancake.

Step 11

Serve immediately for a delightful low-sodium breakfast experience.
