Salchicha de pavo picante casera con ajo y albahaca

Ingredientes

• 1.3 pounds ground turkey (a 20-ounce package is fine as well)
• 1 tbsp fresh basil (chopped) (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper (the more the spicier)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, basil, garlic, salt, paprika, pepper, and cayenne.

3. 3

   With wet hands (the mixture will be sticky), divide the mixture into 8 portions and pat each into a patty. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake for 25 minutes, turning once, until the patties are cooked through and starting to brown.

5. 5

   Alternatively, you can cook the patties in a hot skillet until cooked through and browned.

6. 6

   Patties can be frozen. If freezing them uncooked, freeze them on a plastic-lined sheet until firm. Then remove from sheet and place in a ziptop freezer bag and return to the freezer immediately. Cooked and cooled patties can be stored in a ziptop freezer bag. Chill completely before freezing.
