For the Scrambled Eggs Patties:

  • Coconut oil (optional)
  • Mason lid ring to cut into egg patties/circles (optional)

Assembling the Breakfast Sandwiches:

Instructions

For the Maple Apple Turkey Patties: 

  1. I recommend using parchment paper when prepping each patty (refer to the photos above), so if you are doing so start by cutting medium to small squares of parchment paper and set aside. You will need 2 medium to small squares per patty.
  2. In a bowl, mix all ingredients together: 2 LB ground turkey, 1 cup shredded/grated honey crisp apple, 1/2 TSP salt, 1 TBSP dried Italian seasoning, 1 TBSP minced garlic, 1/4 TSP black pepper, 3 TBSP pure maple syrup.
  3. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture out of the bowl and form it into a ball. Set it on a small piece of your prepared parchment paper. Place another piece of your cut parchment paper on top of the ball and using a 1 cup measuring cup, press down in a circling motion to flatten into a patty form. Repeat this process until all patties are made. NOTE: I like to place mine in the fridge for for 5-10 minutes to let the patties form to the paper, they will be easier to peel off when you begin to cook them. When I begin to cook them I only take them out of the fridge as I cook, I do not take them all out at once.
  4. To begin cooking, spray non-stick spray in your pan and heat over medium to medium low heat. Remove one layer of parchment paper. Flip it over and place in your pan. Begin cooking your patty, after about 30 seconds, remove the top layer and continue to cook for another 1 minute and 30 seconds, then flip. Cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. Continue cooking. You will cook on each side for 3-4 minutes total or until no longer pink and they become juicy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Repeat this process until all patties are cooked. NOTE: keep your non-stick spray handy, you will need to spray your pan multiple times while cooking to ensure the patties do not stick.
  5. When done, set patties aside until you are ready to assemble the breakfast sandwiches. You can also enjoy these as is, store them in fridge in an air tight container.

For the Scrambled Egg Patties: 

  1. Crack two eggs in a bowl and whisk with a fork. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and whisk again.
  2. Heat a pan over medium to medium low heat and add about 1/2-1 TSP coconut oil to the pan, begin to melt. Once melted add your whisked eggs. NOTE: steps 3-5 are optional you can easily cook scrambled eggs and place them on the sandwich without creating the egg patties/circles.
  3. Heat your eggs and lift the pan and swirl around trying to expand and thin out the first layer as much as possible, once mostly most of the liquid as cooked, using a spatula flip one side over so it is in a half moon. Continue to cook for about 30 seconds to one minute.
  4. Using your spatula, flip one side over one more time so it is in a triangle form and you have created two thicker layers. Continue to cook for 10-15 seconds, make sure you don’t burn one side. Flip it to the other side if needed.
  5. Remove from heat immediately, let cool for 1 minute. Using your mason jar lid ring or something similar, place it over your cooked eggs and press down to cut them into circles. Discard edges. Continue this process until you have 6 egg patties.

Assembling the Breakfast Sandwiches: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. If you are using cheese, you have the option to melt it directly onto the sausage (recommended) OR melting it on the top half of the English muffin (see photos above). So, place the top half and the bottom half of the english muffin on your pan, the top across from the bottom. Place your eggs on the bottom and then your sausage patty and then the cheese either ontop of the sausage patty or on the English muffin directly.
  3. Once the oven is done preheating, place in the oven for 3 minutes until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and place the top half on top to complete the sandwich.
  4. ENJOY!

** REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: If you placed these in the freezer, preheat your oven to 350 and reheat for 20 minutes. If they were in the fridge do about 10 minutes or until hot and cheese has melted. **
