Chicken, Apple and Basil Sausage Patties

Yields8 Servings

Ingredients

 1 tbsp olive oil
 1 ½ cups cup finely chopped, unpeeled sweet-tart red apples
 ½ cup finely chopped sweet onion
 ¾ tsp 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  cup very finely chopped fresh basil
 1 tsp rubbed sage
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp ground coriander
 ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
 1 ½ lbs ground chicken or turkey (white and dark meat)

Directions

1

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple and onion. Cook about 2 minutes or until nearly tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer mixture to large bowl and cool to room temperature.

2

Stir basil, sage, salt, coriander, and pepper into apple mixture. Add ground chicken; mix with hands until just combined (do not overwork meat mixture). With damp hands, form mixture into sixteen 1/2-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a tray or baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. Cover and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

3

To use, thaw sausage patties in refrigerator, if frozen. Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausages. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted near centers reads 165° F, turning patties over halfway through cooking. Drain on paper towels before serving.
