I really enjoyed a turkey sausage I made last week (Banger Sausage: click HERE for the recipe).  I found another recipe that looked good as well so I made it yesterday. It's very flavorful and easy to make.

Spicy Italian Turkey Sausage

Adapted from www.realfoodwithjessica.com

1 pound ground turkey (93 percent lean)

1 to 2 teaspoons cooking oil (I used avocado oil)

1/2 tablespoon dried parsley

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon fennel seed

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.  Form into 8 equal size patties.

Heat a large skillet over medium to medium high heat.  You will be cooking the patties in 2 batches so as to not crowd the pan.  Drizzle a scant amount of preferred cooking oil in the skillet (coconut, olive oil, avocado oil) and swirl it around.  Add 4 patties to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes; turn patties and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through and no pink remains.  Repeat with remaining 4 patties.
