THE CHAMP'S SAUSAGE WITHOUT GUILT

"You can start your day with a sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes good, but is also good for you. This moist, flavorful sausage, served with a country-style biscuit, makes the complete breakfast."

1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely snipped dried apples or 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground turkey breast

In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, dried or fresh apples, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, sage, nutmeg, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the ground turkey and mix well.

Shape the mixture into eight or nine (2-inch) wide patties.

Preheat the Grilling Machine and place the patties on the grill three at a time. Close the Lid. Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, turning once or twice.

Makes 8-9 patties
