Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb Ground chicken Go for organic when possible.
2 cups Apples (peeled and diced) Try using Granny Smith for a tart twist.
2 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic works best.
1 small Onion (finely chopped) Shallots can also be a sweet substitute.
1 tbsp Sage (dried or fresh) If fresh is unavailable, dried works just as well.
1 tbsp Thyme (dried or fresh) Oregano can be an alternative.
1 tsp Salt Adjust based on dietary needs.
1 tsp Black pepper For a milder flavor, use white pepper.
1/4 tsp Nutmeg Use it sparingly, as its flavor is potent.
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Opt for Vietnamese cinnamon for a richer taste.
2 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking) Avocado oil is a great substitute.

Method

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced apples, minced garlic, chopped onion, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix well until fully combined.
Form the mixture into sausage-shaped links or patties.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sausages for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Serve hot.

Notes

For an indulgent breakfast, serve with scrambled eggs and roasted veggies. Experiment with spice levels by adding a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze for three months.
