Linguiça de peru extra magra para o café da manhã

Ingredientes

• 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon sage
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Generous pinch of crushed red pepper
• 1 pound ground turkey ((see Turkey Notes below))
• 1 egg or 2 large egg whites ((see Egg Notes below))

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Stir the salt and spices into the ground turkey until evenly distributed. If you have time, cover and chill for at least an hour (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld. If you are in a hurry, skip this step and move ahead to the next one.

2. 2

   Stir in the egg or egg whites into the ground turkey.

3. 3

   Spray a skillet with cooking spray (or use 1 teaspoon of oil) and heat it over medium heat.

4. 4

   Scoop the ground turkey (it will be very moist; I use an ice cream scoop) into your skillet and flatten it with the back of a spatula.

5. 5

   Cover and allow the patties to cook for 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Flip, cover again, and allow them to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Don’t cook them too long, as the meat will dry out, but make sure there is no pink left in the middle.

7. 7

   Serve and enjoy!
