Recipe for Turkey, Walnut and Mushroom Sausage. Serve these for lunch, on a soft bun with lightly dressed greens, or for breakfast on a slice of toasted bread topped with a poached egg.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 3/4 cup (4 ounces) finely chopped mushrooms, either all one kind or a combination
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon (1 large clove) garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage OR 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms soften. Set aside to cool.
  2. In the meantime, in a large bowl combine the turkey, walnuts, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, shallot, garlic, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the cooked mushrooms and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix vigorously until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or overnight if you wish).
  4. With your hands, using about 1/2 cup turkey mixture for each sausage, shape and pat into 8 patties, or burgers, each about 4 inches across.
