Known for his Sunday breakfasts, my father-in-law. Delicious homemade sausage, light eggs, and flavorful fried potatoes and onions. My kids often talked about breakfast, which was typically served long after 11 a.m., after spending time at their grandparents’ farm with the horses and other animals. (Don’t tell Grampa, but I just combined all the ingredients and fried them straight immediately; they taste excellent.)

These were good but it tasted like a turkey burger instead of sausage. I even added a little sage. A little too salty also. Probably won’t make again. High in calories too.
This is by far the best turkey sausage patty recipe I’ve had. I made it per the recipe, but did added a pinch of sage and thyme. The spices were right on the money!!!!
The sausage was good, not great. I thought it was a little bland, and needed additional seasonings. At minimum, more pepper. I probably should have used a ground turkey that had a higher fat content as well.
Delicious and so easy to make! I made this nearly as written (I was out of town and didn’t have any cayenne…ended up using crushed red pepper). I was skeptical to make this recipe because I’m used to adding sage and other seasonings along with some maple syrup, but I really liked the flavor of these turkey sausage patties. I think the coriander is perfect in this recipe and a spice I would not have thought to use when making turkey sausage patties. I also loved the brown sugar in these that I swear helps the patties brown nicely and lends a subtle hint of sweet. I formed my patties a little smaller and yielded 6 patties. I used 93% lean ground turkey and didn’t have a problem with the patties getting dry. I was going to rate these four stars because while my husband liked these, he said he prefers the other recipe I usually make. Oh well, I loved these too so more for me and none for him! So, a 5 star rating in my book, and a 4 in his book. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your FIL’s recipe, FrackFamily5! I look forward to making a large batch of these in the future!
This was excellent! My husband isn’t a fan of breakfast sausage due to sage and other spices so this one was a big winner in his book too. This recipe is super simple and bursting with flavor. I’ve actually made quite a few of this recipe submitter’s recipes and they’ve all been great!
This was the first time I’d ever made sausage, and I really enjoyed the flavor of this. It was so easy too. I will make this again for sure. Grampa gets an A+!!!
This is easy to make and it has great flavor. Sooooo much better than the pre-cooked stuff at the store. Followed the recipe except for the cayenne pepper. I omitted it because I didn’t have any.
Wow! Who knew that such simple ingredients could produce something so tasty. I didn’t have coriander so skinned equal amount of sage and red pepper flakes. Very good!
The flavor was outstanding and browned beautifully. What a great alternative to store bought that’s packed with much higher levels of sodium than what this recipe calls for.
Easy to make and good flavor! Added a few additional spices to our liking. Family was 1/2 fans & 1/2 not convinced due to texture.
I didn’t think I would like this recipe as I am not a fan of ground turkey. This is really good though. I baked it in the oven and cut into slices. It is really flavorful and tastes delicious. Thank you for sharing Grandpa’s recipe:)
Really good sausage. One thing I’ll do different is less salt and peppers. Was a little too hot for my taste and a bit on the salty side. I also added a bit of onion powder and garlic powder.
I made it for pasta and we loved it!
These were too heavy for me. Not one of my favourites
It was so dry and boring. If I make again, it needs some spice and also would be better as a filler when recipes call for sausage such as lasagna.
Turned out a little tough and dry. Maybe mixed too long or cooked too long. Will cook the remainder a little shorter time. Flavor was good.
This recipe is GREAT!!! Didn’t change a thing. My kids wanted to tell Grampa that they “love him!!!” 🙂
Love this recipe – we make it with 5 lbs of ground turkey at a time (use the adjust recipe feature – makes 20 servings). We mix it up in our Kitchenaid Mixer with the dough hook – placing turkey in first then adding all spices and seasonings. We do cut back on the peppers a bit, just our preference – but love it both ways! We scoop up 1/4 cup at a time, form into patties, place them on parchment lined baking sheets and freeze for several hours. When frozen, we fold them into the parchment – to keep the patties separate – and place all in zip lock freezer bags. So much better and healthier than the nasty stuff found in the freezer aisle in the supermarket.
I made this for breakfast this morning and we both really loved it. I know it’s called coriander sausage and it sure stands out in the flavor. I had around 1/3 pound or so of ground turkey so maybe the ratios were a little off. I normally don’t do this when I try a new recipe but, I added a pinch of sage. We had this sausage with omelets and British muffins and they were great together. Hopefully next time that I make this it will be with a full pound of ground turkey and let it rest in the refrigerator over night. All in all it was a great substitute for store bought pork sausage. Definitely a keeper!
Yes this was amazing so simple . Lots and lots less salt . We loved it .
Made this turkey sausage the other day then forgot about it so it sat in the fridge for 2 days. Next time I make this I’m going to up the seasoning and add sage. I use the leaner turkey to cut back on the fat content and only used 1/2 tsp black pepper. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
