Turkey Apple Breakfast Sausage

1 tsp EVOO
1/2 granny smith apple, cored and diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 lb. extra-lean ground turkey
1 Tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 tsp chopped fresh marjoram or oregano
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Eat-Clean cooking spray

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add apple and onion, saute until soft and browning (3-5minutes).
Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly

2. In a large bowl add ground turkey and the rest of the ingredients. Add reserved cooked apple and onions. Mix together until well combine, using hands.
Separate into 4 equal parts and form into large patties.

3. Preheat oven to 350. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat with Eat-Clean cooking Spray. Add patties in a single layer and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a baking sheet and finish cooking in oven 5-7 minutes. (This will allow sausage patties to cook through without burning on the outside).
