Classic Scrambled Eggs with Spinach

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: This simple classic can feel so luxurious. The creaminess of the eggs mixed with fresh spinach is just perfect. It’s my go-to when I need something quick, filling, and packed with goodness. It’s a timeless recipe that never disappoints.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 30 ml milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 50g fresh spinach
• 5 ml olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 15g feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Tools and Preparation

• Non-stick frying pan
• Whisk
• Spatula
• Small bowl

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk, a salt pinch, and a pepper dash.
2. Whisk everything together until the mixture is light and frothy. This step is key to fluffy eggs!
3. Heat the olive oil in your non-stick pan over medium heat.
4. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until it wilts.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the pan.
6. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring.
7. Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center using your spatula. Continue this until the eggs are cooked to your liking. I personally like them a little soft.
8. If you’re using feta, sprinkle it over the top during the last minute of cooking.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your powerful start to the day.

Variations

• Add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms with the spinach for extra veggies.
• Stir in a spoonful of pesto for a burst of flavor.
• Top with sliced avocado for healthy fats.

Storage: It’s best to enjoy scrambled eggs fresh. If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day and gently reheat them in the microwave.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Don’t cook the eggs on high heat, as this can make them rubbery. Low and slow is the secret to creamy, perfect scrambled eggs. Also, don’t over-whisk the eggs; mix until combined.

FAQs

• Can I use frozen spinach? Thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before adding it to the pan.
• How can I make this dairy-free? Use a dairy-free milk alternative and skip the feta cheese.

Final Thoughts: This is one of those simple recipes that proves you don’t need anything complicated for a fantastic high-protein breakfast.

Greek Yogurt Power Bowl

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: I’m obsessed with how versatile and beautiful this breakfast is. It requires zero cooking, and you can customize it with whatever toppings your heart desires. It’s a creamy, crunchy, and refreshing way to get a huge protein boost first thing in the morning.

Ingredients

• 200g plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 50g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 25g granola
• 15g chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Tools and Preparation

• Serving bowl
• Spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Spoon the Greek yogurt into your favorite breakfast bowl.
2. Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the yogurt.
3. Sprinkle the chia seeds on top.
4. Arrange the mixed berries, granola, and chopped nuts over the yogurt. You can make it look as pretty as you like! I love making little patterns.
5. Serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.

Variations

• Use different fruits like sliced bananas, kiwi, or peaches.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract to the yogurt.
• Stir in a scoop of protein powder for an even bigger protein punch.

Storage: This bowl is best assembled to keep the granola and nuts crunchy before eating. However, you can portion the yogurt into containers for the week.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Don’t use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt if you want that high protein content. Greek yogurt is strained, which concentrates the protein.

FAQs

• Can I make this ahead of time? You can, but the granola will get soft. If you want to meal prep, keep the toppings separate and add them just before eating.
• Is Greek yogurt healthy? Yes, plain Greek yogurt is a fantastic source of protein and probiotics.

Final Thoughts: This bowl proves that a powerful breakfast can be ready in minutes. It’s a lifesaver on busy mornings.

Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl

Why You’ll Love This Recipe I know cottage cheese can be polarizing, but I want you to try this savory bowl! It’s surprisingly delicious and satisfying. The creaminess of the cottage cheese paired with fresh, crunchy vegetables is a texture explosion. It feels like a fancy, light lunch, but for breakfast.

Ingredients

• 200g full-fat cottage cheese
• 50g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 30g cucumber, diced
• 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
• A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
• A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
• Fresh dill or chives, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Tools and Preparation

• Bowl
• Knife and cutting board

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl.
2. Top with the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion.
3. Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the top.
4. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the vegetables.
5. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
6. Gently mix everything or enjoy it layered.

Variations

• Add a handful of Kalamata olives or chickpeas.
• Top with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
• For extra protein, add some leftover cooked chicken or a hard-boiled egg.

Storage: Like the yogurt bowl, this is best eaten fresh. If stored for too long, the vegetables can release water and make the cottage cheese runny.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Low-fat cottage cheese can result in a watery bowl. Full-fat provides the best flavor and creamy texture, which is essential here.

FAQs

• I don’t like the texture of cottage cheese. Do you have any tips? You can blend the cottage cheese for a few seconds to make it smooth and creamy before adding your toppings.
• What other veggies work well? Diced bell peppers, radishes, or even shredded carrots would be delicious.

Final Thoughts: This recipe completely changed my mind about cottage cheese. It’s a refreshing and savory option when you’re tired of sweet breakfasts.

Protein-Packed Oatmeal

Why You’ll Love This Recipe Oatmeal is a breakfast staple, but I often found it left me hungry an hour later. That all changed when I started making it this way.

Adding protein powder and other toppings transforms it into a powerhouse meal that keeps you full and satisfied all morning. It’s warm, comforting, and so good for you.

Ingredients

• 50g rolled oats
• 250 ml water or milk of your choice
• 1 scoop (about 30g) of your favorite protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works well)
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• A pinch of cinnamon
• Toppings: berries, sliced banana, nut butter, seeds.

Tools and Preparation

• Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
• Spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions (Stovetop)

1. Combine the rolled oats, water or milk, and cinnamon in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. This is a crucial step!
5. Stir in the protein powder and ground flaxseed until well combined. Adding it off the heat prevents the protein powder from clumping.
6. Pour into a bowl and add your desired toppings.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Microwave)

1. Combine the oats, water, milk, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, observing to prevent it from boiling over.
3. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir in the protein powder and flaxseed until smooth.
4. Add your toppings and serve.

Variations

• Use different flavors of protein powder, like chocolate or strawberry.
• Stir in a mashed banana for natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
• Add a spoonful of cocoa powder with the oats for a chocolatey version.

Storage: You can make a big batch of this oatmeal and store it in individual containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. It’s perfect for meal prep. When reheating, add a splash of milk.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Adding the protein powder while the oatmeal is still on the heat source can make it clumpy and grainy. Always mix it in after you’ve removed it from the heat.

FAQs

• What kind of protein powder should I use? Whey, casein, or a plant-based blend will work. Just choose one you enjoy the taste of!
• Can I use instant oats? You can, but rolled oats provide a better texture and are generally less processed.

Final Thoughts: This recipe makes oatmeal a truly satisfying meal. It’s the coziest way to get your morning protein.

Quick Breakfast Burrito

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: I love a good breakfast burrito. It’s a complete meal wrapped up in a warm tortilla, perfect for mornings when you need something to eat on the go. This version is packed with eggs, black beans, and cheese for a serious protein and fiber punch that will keep you fueled for hours.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 large whole-wheat tortilla
• 50g canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 30g shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• A few slices of avocado (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Tools and Preparation

• Small non-stick frying pan
• Spatula
• Bowl

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lightly whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble them until they are just set. This should only take about 2-3 minutes.
3. To make the tortilla pliable, warm it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a dry pan.
4. Assemble the burrito: Place the scrambled eggs down the center of the tortilla.
5. Top the eggs with the black beans, shredded cheese, and salsa. If you’re using avocado slices, add them.
6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
7. You can eat it as is or return it to the pan for a minute on each side to crisp it up and melt the cheese. I highly recommend this step!

Variations

• Add cooked sausage, bacon, or chorizo for even more protein.
• Include sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
• Use a different type of bean, like pinto beans.

Storage: You can make these ahead of time! Wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overfilling the tortilla. It’s tempting, I know, but it will make it impossible to roll and likely fall apart. Be mindful of your filling-to-tortilla ratio.

FAQs

• How do I keep my burrito from getting soggy? Make sure your ingredients, like the salsa and beans, are well-drained. Placing the eggs down first can create a barrier.
• What’s the best way to fold a burrito? Place your filling in the lower third of the tortilla. Fold the bottom edge up and over the filling. Fold in the two sides. Then, roll it up tightly.

Final Thoughts: This breakfast burrito is a delicious, portable powerhouse. It’s one of my favorite grab-and-go high-protein breakfast ideas.

Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Toast

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: This elegant yet incredibly easy recipe is a great way to start the day. I love the combination of savory smoked salmon, creamy cheese, and tangy capers. It’s a fantastic way to get high-quality protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Ingredients

• 1 slice of whole-grain or sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese or Neufchâtel
• 50g smoked salmon
• 1 teaspoon capers, drained
• Thin slices of red onion
• Fresh dill for garnish
• A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Tools and Preparation

• Toaster
• Knife

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Toast your slice of bread to your desired level of crispiness.
2. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the warm toast.
3. Arrange the slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
4. Sprinkle the capers and red onion slices over the salmon.
5. Garnish with a few sprigs of fresh dill.
6. Finish with a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.

Variations

• Use a toasted bagel instead of bread.
• Add sliced tomato or cucumber for a fresh crunch.
• Mash an avocado on the toast before adding the other toppings.

Storage: This is definitely a recipe to be eaten immediately after making. The toast will get soggy if it sits for too long.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Using too much cream cheese can overpower the delicate flavor of the salmon. A thin, even layer is all you need.

FAQs

• Is smoked salmon healthy? Yes, it’s a great source of protein and heart-healthy omega-3s.
• What type of bread is best? A sturdy bread like sourdough, rye, or thick-cut whole-grain bread is best for holding up to the toppings.

Tofu Scramble

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: I love how versatile tofu is, and in this scramble, it truly shines as a fantastic protein source. It’s an excellent plant-based alternative to eggs, and I find it just as satisfying. You can customize it with all your favorite veggies and spices, making it a fresh and exciting start to your day every time. It’s proof that a powerful breakfast can be completely dairy and egg-free.

Ingredients

• 200g firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
• 5 ml olive oil
• 1/4 small onion, finely diced
• 1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced
• 50g fresh spinach
• 5g nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor, optional)
• 2g turmeric powder (for color)
• 1g black salt (kala namak, for eggy flavor, optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tools and Preparation

• Large frying pan or cast-iron skillet
• Spatula
• Fork or potato masher (for crumbling tofu)
• Cutting board and knife

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Press the tofu: If you haven’t already, press the tofu to remove excess water. I wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place something heavy on top for at least 15-20 minutes. Then, crumble it into a bowl using a fork.
2. Heat the olive oil in your frying pan over medium heat.
3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
4. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing it to brown slightly. This adds a great texture!
5. Stir in the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly.
6. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until it wilts.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro. I love serving this with a side of whole-wheat toast or avocado.

Variations

• Add mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
• Stir in a tablespoon of salsa or hot sauce for a kick.
• Top with sliced avocado, green onions, or a dollop of dairy-free sour cream.

Storage: Leftover tofu scramble can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not pressing the tofu enough can result in a watery scramble. Also, please don’t skimp on the seasonings; they are key to giving tofu great flavor!

FAQs

• What is nutritional yeast? It’s a deactivated yeast with a cheesy, umami flavor, often used in vegan cooking.
• Where can I find black salt (kala namak)? You can usually find it at Indian grocery stores or online. It gives a distinct “eggy” flavor.

Final Thoughts: This tofu scramble is a vibrant and satisfying plant-based option that really delivers on flavor and protein.

Protein Pancakes

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: I enjoy fluffy pancakes without feeling guilty or sluggish afterward. Adding protein powder transforms a classic comfort food into a muscle-building, energy-boosting meal.

These pancakes are perfect for a weekend brunch or whenever you crave something sweet but still want that powerful protein kick.

Ingredients

• 60g whole-wheat flour
• 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
• 5g baking powder
• 1g salt
• 1 large egg
• 150 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 5 ml maple syrup or honey (plus more for serving)
• 5 ml vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
• Optional: 50g berries or chocolate chips for mixing in

Tools and Preparation

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Non-stick frying pan or griddle
• Ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt, making sure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, maple syrup/honey, and 5 ml vegetable oil until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Small lumps are okay; don’t overmix, or your pancakes will be tough. If you add berries or chocolate chips, gently fold them in now.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, extra maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. I love how delicious and satisfying these are!

Variations

• Add a mashed banana to the batter for natural sweetness and moisture.
• Swap out vanilla protein powder for chocolate for a richer flavor.
• Experiment with different fruits like sliced apples or peaches.

Storage Leftover protein pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a toaster, microwave, or lightly in a pan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overmixing the batter is a common mistake that leads to tough pancakes. Mix until just combined. Also, cooking at too high a heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside raw.

FAQs

• Can I use gluten-free flour? Yes, a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend should work well.
• What kind of protein powder is best? Whey protein or a plant-based protein blend usually works best for pancake texture.

Final Thoughts: These protein pancakes are a delightful way to enjoy a sweet breakfast without compromising your protein goals.

Egg Muffins

Why You’ll Love This Recipe I’m obsessed with how convenient these egg muffins are! They are perfect for meal prepping because you can bake a big batch and have a ready-to-eat, high-protein breakfast all week.

They’re incredibly versatile, allowing you to use whatever vegetables or cooked meat you have. They’re like mini omelets in a portable, grab-and-go package.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 60 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 50g shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
• 50g chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions)
• 30g cooked protein (e.g., diced ham, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, or leftover cooked chicken), optional
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 5 ml olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)

Tools and Preparation

• 12-cup muffin tin
• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. Lightly grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, or line them with paper liners. I find greasing works best for easy removal.
3. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a large mixing bowl until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, and cooked protein (if using). Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden brown on top. They should spring back slightly when gently pressed.
7. Let the muffins cool briefly in the tin before carefully removing them. If they stick, I use a small knife around the edges.
8. Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing.

Variations

• Experiment with different cheese and vegetable combinations.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs like chives or parsley after baking.

Storage Egg muffins are fantastic for meal prep! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. They also freeze well for up to 1-2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in a toaster oven.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overfilling the muffin cups can cause the egg mixture to spill during baking. Also, overbaking can make the muffins dry and rubbery.

FAQs

• Can I use egg whites only? Yes, you can. The muffins will be a bit less rich but still high in protein.
• How do I prevent them from sticking? Your best bet is to improve the muffin tin or use silicone liners.

Final Thoughts: These egg muffins are a game-changer for busy mornings. They are delicious, nutritious, and incredibly easy to grab and go.

Chia Seed Pudding

Why You’ll Love This Recipe I love how effortlessly this recipe comes together overnight, making it the ultimate grab-and-go high-protein breakfast for busy mornings. Chia seeds are tiny powerhouses, packed with fiber, healthy fats, and protein, creating a wonderfully creamy pudding texture.

Plus, it’s easily customizable with your favorite fruits and flavors!

Ingredients

• 30g chia seeds
• 250 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or coconut milk)
• 15g protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, optional but boosts protein!)
• 15 ml maple syrup or honey (adjust to your sweetness preference)
• 2g vanilla extract
• Toppings: 50g fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, granola, or shredded coconut.

Tools and Preparation

• Mason jar or an airtight container
• Spoon or whisk

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In your mason jar or container, combine the chia seeds, milk, protein powder (if using), maple syrup/honey, and vanilla extract.
2. Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds. This step is crucial to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
3. Place the lid on the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Before serving, give it another good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more milk.
5. Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or granola. I love how beautiful these look with vibrant berries!
6. Enjoy your creamy and satisfying breakfast!

Variations

• Chocolate Chia Pudding: Add one tablespoon of cocoa powder with the chia seeds.
• Mango Chia Pudding: Blend some mango puree into the milk for a tropical twist.
• Matcha Chia Pudding: Add a teaspoon of matcha powder for an earthy flavor and energy boost.

Storage: Chia seed pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. It’s perfect for making a few batches at the start of the week.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not stirring enough initially can lead to a lumpy pudding. Make sure to stir well to distribute the seeds evenly. Also, ensure you use enough liquid; too little will produce a very thick, almost gel-like consistency.

FAQs

• What if it’s too thick or too thin? Add more milk if it’s too thick, or add a few more chia seeds (and let it sit for 30 minutes) if it’s too thin.
• Can I blend it? Yes! After chilling, you can mix all the ingredients for a completely smooth pudding.

Final Thoughts: This chia seed pudding is a delicious, easy, and incredibly versatile way to get a potent dose of protein and fiber.

Turkey Sausage Patties

Why You’ll Love This Recipe: I love having a batch of these homemade turkey sausage patties ready in the fridge. They’re so much healthier than store-bought options and bursting with savory flavor. They pair perfectly with eggs or can be enjoyed independently for a quick, high-protein bite.

It’s a fantastic way to control the ingredients and kickstart your day with lean protein.

Ingredients

• 450g lean ground turkey
• 1/2 small onion, very finely minced or grated
• 5g dried sage
• 2g dried thyme
• 2g garlic powder
• 1g smoked paprika
• 1g red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 5 ml olive oil (for cooking)

Tools and Preparation

• Large mixing bowl
• Frying pan or griddle
• Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In the large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced onion, dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
2. Using your hands, gently but thoroughly mix all the ingredients until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
3. Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 1 cm (0.5 inch) thick. I find that slightly wetting my hands helps prevent sticking.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
5. Carefully place the turkey sausage patties into the hot pan, avoiding overcrowding. You may need to cook them in batches.
6. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
7. Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
8. Serve warm alongside your favorite breakfast items. I love how these complement scrambled eggs!

Variations

• Add a pinch of ground fennel for a more Italian sausage flavor.
• Stir in some finely chopped fresh apple for a hint of sweetness.
• Mix in finely chopped bell peppers or fresh herbs like parsley.

Storage Cooked turkey sausage patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. They also freeze exceptionally well for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in a pan, microwave, or oven.

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overmixing the turkey can lead to tough patties. Also, ensure the pan isn’t too hot, which can burn the outside before the inside is cooked.

FAQs

• Can I use ground chicken instead? Yes, ground chicken works just as well with this recipe.
• How do I know if they’re cooked through? The easiest way is to use a meat thermometer; they should reach 74°C (165°F).

Final Thoughts: These homemade turkey sausage patties are a delicious and healthy way to get powerful protein into your morning routine.
