Method
Step 1: Season the turkey
Add the sausage seasonings to the ground turkey: grated or ground clove, grated garlic, sage, thyme, fennel seeds, black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt. Lightly mix to combine.
Step 2: Sear & smash turkey patties
Form the turkey sausage into two balls which we will be smashing in the skillet.
To cook, set a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil to the spatula. Once ripping hot, drop the sausage balls in and let for just 20 seconds before flipping over and smashing down to the size of a patty. Let those on each side so a crust can develop.
Once the sausages are mostly cooked, drizzle them with maple syrup. This adds a hint of sweetness and helps caramelize the edges.
Step 3: Scramble the eggs
Gently scramble 2 eggs until they're slightly underdone. Shape the eggs into two portions and sprinkle black pepper on top before removing them from the heat.
Step 4: Assemble & serve
Toast each side of an English muffin to your liking.
To assemble the sandwiches, drizzle a bit of ketchup to the bottom before adding the sausage patties, followed by the egg, and finally half a slice of cheese. Place these under the for 30 seconds until the cheese melts. Add the top slice of the English muffin, close, and enjoy.
