Savory Chicken Sausage Patties

I really enjoy making my own sausage by buying boneless, skinless chicken thighs when they are on sale and grinding them into sausage using my Kitchenaide Grinder Attachment. I really enjoy the Apple/Maple ones I make, but my husband wanted to try his hand, so I let him!

These are a bit spicy and savory, and you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. We normally get it seasoned and fry a very small patty to taste, then decide what we may need more of, if anything!

They are really good on the "fake" Egg McMuffin I make my husband each morning for breakfast. I use Egg Beaters and Fat Free Cheese, and one of these patties or whatever I have on hand, and it holds him nicely till lunch time!

1 family pack boneless, skinless thighs, ground into hamburger consistency
2 eggs, whipped
dried parsley
dried onion
smoked paprika
onion powder
garlic powder
sage
celery salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
fresh cracked black pepper (alot, we use our extra coffee grinder to make a bunch)

**you can add bread crumbs if you wish, we chose not to***

Mix the above and shape into patties, fry in a bit of oil in a non-stick fry pan, enjoy!

One of these days, I'm going to spring for that Kitchen Aid Attachment. It's pricey! Beautiful breakast, and the egg is cooked to perfection.

Anyhow, I love the idea of making ones own sausgae. I never have, I must get that attachment. Geez, sausage, attachment, oh lord.

This conjurs up memories of my Mom grinding meat with the stand grinder attached to the side of the kitchen table. I don't have that attachment to my Kitchen Aid, but I know the butcher would grind anything up that we ask. Hmm, note to self, check with the butcher.....

Donna, calm down with the 'sausage and attachment'! J/K!

I'm an egg person and these compliment eggs perfectly. Looks delicious just like the pasta salad! Happy Thanksgiving Cheryl!

This is a really good idea. I think I'll just get ground chicken from my butcher, then add in all your ingredients. Will make for a good change during our weekend breakfasts!

How to spatchcock a chicken or turkey!

Finishing some of Cheryl's drafts... Keeping spatchcocking simple. Using a VERY sharp cleaver or kitchen shears -- not scissors, carefu...
