Ingredients
1lblean ground turkey
1teaspoongarlic powder
½teaspoondried thyme
½teaspooncinnamon
¼teaspoonnutmeg
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
1-2tablespoonmaple syrupdepending on your sweet preference
1cupblueberries
1tablespoonfresh basilfinely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
In a medium mixing bowl, add ground turkey, spices, maple syrup and fresh basil. Mix well to combine.
Add blueberries. Gently mix the berries into the turkey mixture. Divide the meat into 8 even sized balls (about 2 tablespoon per ball). Press each ball to form ½ inch thick patties. Ensure the blueberries are covered by the meat mixture so they don’t fall out while baking.
Arrange in the basket of your air fryer (this may need to be done in batches). Bake for 5 minutes. Flip the patties and bake for an additional 3 minutes.
Notes
Oven instructions: Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange sausage patties on the baking tray (ensuring they are not overcrowded). Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Please note that as air fryers typically have a crisper plate this allows the excess liquid from the blueberries to drain as the sausage patties cook. If you are using a standard cookie tray in an oven the excess moisture may pool on the tray. This will not affect the taste of the sausages but may result in a more blue colour!Stovetop directions: Add 1 teaspoon of oil to a nonstick pan and place over medium heat. Add turkey patties and cook for about 5 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until fully cooked.*I have included an estimation of the nutrition information for this recipe below.
