Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (85% lean)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, dried thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until they are evenly incorporated, but do not overmix to avoid tough patties.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve hot with eggs, toast, or your preferred breakfast sides. These patties can also be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months for meal prep.
