Healthy Turkey Sausage Patties (Paleo, Whole30)
Turkey sausage patties are a delicious, healthy, low carb, high protein recipe that make for the perfect protein option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They cook in less than 30 minutes!
These turkey sausage patties are one of my favorite ways to eat ground turkey! The seasoning in them makes them a perfect breakfast sausage option, or even a perfect meat option to add to bowls or meals. They are filling, flavorful, healthy, and easy to make. They are also naturally dairy free, gluten free, Paleo and Whole30 compliant.
I know sausage patties are usually known for breakfast, but I love using them to top big veggie bowls. If you also love one-bowl meals, try my Korean Beef Bowls.
