Making my own "sausage" patties

Tweet

I don't eat things like hot dogs, sausage, keilbasa, etc. because I don't know what exactly is inside them. My mother traumatized me as a child by telling me that hot dogs were made from, well, I won't say what she said but basically all of the garbage and gross parts of an animal. Yeah that put me off of them for life. I still ate sausage but I distinctly remember one day slicing up sausage for a big crock pot of sausage and peppers and thinking "yup--I'm not eating this any longer". So no mystery meat for me though somehow my mind does make an exception for pepperoni on pizza and yes I know that makes absolutely ZERO sense. I came across this recipe for homemade turkey "sausage" patties on the Skinnytaste website and was immediately interested. I like the flavor of sausage. I just don't like not knowing what is in it. So this fits the bill. I am in the process of making a batch and then I'll have it ready for this week's breakfasts. She suggests pairing it with scrambled eggs that contain cottage cheese for a high-protein breakfast. I love that idea! I think this will be going into my regular meal-prep rotation.
