Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 4 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp dried sage
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 count eggs
- 4 slices whole grain bread
Steps
- In a bowl, mix the ground turkey with the maple syrup, sage, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Shape into 8 thin patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties 4-5 minutes per side, in two batches if they do not all fit, until browned and cooked through to 165°F. Move to a plate.
- Toast the bread while the sausage cooks.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet and fry the eggs over medium heat in two batches, 3-4 minutes each, covered for the last minute, until the whites are fully set.
- Serve 2 patties and 2 eggs per person with toast.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
