Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper and set next to turkey mixture. Use your hands to scoop out some of the turkey mixture.

Place each sausage on prepped sheet pan.

Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Preheat skillet– Place turkey sausages on a preheated hot surface. This will prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
- Use thermometer to take internal temperature- Stick thermometer in the middle of each sausage. It should read 165 degrees F once they are done.
- Don’t skip the ACV- Apple cider vinegar helps neutralize the after taste turkey meat tends to have. It will also add flavor to your burgers.
- Substitute for maple syrup- You can use honey.
