Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties

Found a recipe online and adapted to suit our household.

Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties

2 lbs ground turkey (not super lean, you want a little fat)
2 tsp each - fennel seed, dried thyme, black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 scant tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp each - chipotle powder, cloves, nutmeg, allspice


I like to put this in my KitchenAid and mix the hell out of it so I don't have to touch the meat.  If that's not an option, get in there with your hands and mix like crazy.  Let set overnight if you planned that far ahead.  Otherwise, let set as long as you can.

Heat oil up in a pan to med-high.  Use an ice cream scoop to measure out a blob and form into a patty in your hand.  Fill the pan (you'll have to do multiple batches likely) but don't have the patties touch each other.  Cook until brown on the first side, turn over and brown on the other side.  I usually have to turn the heat down a bit at this point.  Cook until just done through.

Note: If it's the height of summer and you have too much zucchini laying around add about a cup or so shredded zucchini to the meat when you mix in the spices.
