These juicy, flavorful sausage patties are made from scratch with beef, turkey, and classic spices—perfect for breakfast or meal prep.

Ingredients

For the Sausage Patties:

1 lb (450 g) ground beef

1 lb (450 g) ground turkey

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 teaspoons dried sage

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Pinch of ground cloves

Instructions

Mix the Seasoning:
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, sage, salt, pepper, marjoram, red pepper flakes (if using), and ground cloves.

Combine Meat & Seasoning:
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef and ground turkey.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the meat.
Gently mix with your hands until just combined—don’t overwork it.

Form Patties:
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
Shape each into a patty about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick.

Cook Patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place patties in a single layer (in batches if needed).
Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serve:
Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Serve as-is or with eggs, toast, or in a breakfast sandwich.

Notes

Don’t overmix the meat—this keeps the patties tender.

Patties can be frozen uncooked between parchment paper for up to 2 months.

Use ground chicken instead of turkey for variation.

Make smaller patties for sliders or brunch buffets.
