Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup sweet potato riced (see notes)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup omit for whole30
  • cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  • Steam the sweet potato by adding to a bowl along with about 3 tbsp of water. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 4 minutes to soften. Squeeze with a towel to strain excess liquid. Alternatively, steam on the stove top by adding the sweet potato to a shallow pan with a lid and cover with about 1/2"-3/4" of water. Bring to a low simmer and place a lid on the pan. Steam for 4-5 minutes to soften. Squeeze with a towel to strain excess liquid. Allow to cool to the touch.
  • Combine the sweet potato with the turkey, seasonings, and maple syrup and fold until well combined.
  • Add the blueberries to the mixture and gently fold in, being careful to not burst any berries.
  • Form the mixture into 7-8 sausages that are round and slightly flattened. Set aside.
  • Using a large deep pan, heat the avocado oil over medium high heat. Add 2-3 sausages to the pan at a time, being careful to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until crisped and browned. The internal temperature should read 165 F.
  • Serve fresh or store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Notes

  • To rice the sweet potato, roughly chop and add to a food processor. Process until finely riced.
