🥘Ingredients

For the Sausage

1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Seasoning

1 tsp ground fennel
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind finely.
3Mix ground spices with salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Set aside.
4In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey and the seasoning mixture.
5Mix well to ensure the turkey is evenly coated with the spices.
6Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8Using a meat grinder, grind the turkey mixture if necessary, then use a sausage stuffer to fill the casings.
9Twist the sausage into links, about 4-5 inches long.
10Place the sausage links on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
11Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sausage is browned and cooked through.
12Check the sausage by cutting into one; it should be no longer pink in the middle.
13Remove from the oven and let the sausage rest for 5 minutes before serving.
14This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the sausage.
15Serve with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, toast, and fruit.
