Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large-sized mixing bowl. Mix with your hand, but don't over do it or the sausage will become tough.
Chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Form into patties with your hands. PRO TIP: spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray to avoid the meat sticking to you.
Fry in grease until they are no longer pink insides being careful not to overcook. 160 degrees F. is recommended.

Notes

MAKE-AHEAD: This recipe can be made and frozen in raw patties until ready to use or cooked and then frozen.

FREEZER: Flash-freeze the sausage by laying the patties out individually on a cookie sheet. Freezing them and then placing them in a storage container until ready to use them. Take out as many as desired and leave in the refrigerator overnight. Cook as directed.

MEAT: You can use ground chicken in place of ground turkey. However, it would be best if you kept the ground pork since it has a higher fat content, which allows the patties to remain tender and juicy.
