Questions about Turkey breakfast links sausage
How do you cook turkey breakfast links in a frying pan?
Put raw links in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and turn them often for about 8–10 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Check that the centre reaches 74 °C; thicker links may take longer.
Can you cook turkey breakfast links from frozen?
Yes. Cook them gently in a covered pan over low to medium heat, turning regularly, then uncover to brown. Make sure the centre reaches 74 °C before serving; don’t rely on the outside colour alone.
How long do raw turkey breakfast links keep in the fridge?
Keep raw links covered in the fridge and use them within 1–2 days, or freeze them. Refrigerate cooked links promptly and use within 3–4 days; reheat until piping hot.
What goes well with turkey breakfast links?
Serve them with scrambled eggs, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes, or tuck them into a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg. They also work in a breakfast hash with potatoes and peppers.
