Turkey Sausage Sandwich Ingredients Directions Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add olive oil, onion and garlic. Stir frequently until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add fennel seeds, and stir for another minute. Allow mixture to cool and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add ground turkey, salt, pepper, oregano and red wine vinegar to the onion mixture. Using a fork or fingers, mix the ingredients until well combined. Form the meat mixture into six patties. MAKE-AHEAD TIP: If you want to freeze these patties for a later meal, place a square of parchment paper between each patty to keep them from sticking together. Then, place them in a ziplock bag and freeze. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, and spray the surface with cooking spray. Cook in batches of 2 or 3 patties for about 5 minutes on each side until meat forms a brown crust. Toast English muffin, and assemble sandwich with the sausage patty and sliced tomatoes.
