Deluxe breakfast sammy with homemade turkey sausage

This recipe actually comes from the Biggest Loser Cookbook. If you haven’t checked one of their cookbooks out, go to your library and I’m sure they will have a few. Then copy your favorite recipes and return the book!

It was super easy to make and this sandwich kept me full ALL morning.

I used Thomas’ lite English Muffin
1 egg “fried” in Pam cooking spray
1 slice swiss cheese
1 breakfast sausage

Here’s the recipe for the turkey sausages:

Turkey Breakfast Patties

Fennel seeds lend zip to these very low-fat, tasty sausage patties

12 ounces lean ground turkey breast
1/4 cup onion grated (my sister Biz won’t add this!)
1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs, low-fat
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds finely chopped

In a bowl, combine the turkey, onion, egg substitute, bread crumbs and fennel. Shape the turkey mixture into 4 patties.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and warm the skillet for 1 minute over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes on each side.

Yield: 4 Servings; Serving = 1 patty

On another note, did you watch Biggest Loser this week? It always boggles my mind how people who just a few short months ago were huge and here they are running a marathon AND totally kicking my marathon time!!!

When Ada ran it in 4:38 where just 4 months ago she was 70 pounds heavier I could not believe it. And Patrick who was 400 pounds ran his marathon a whole HOUR faster than my time!! Super impressive that they can do that. I was super proud of all of them, especially Elizabeth with her asthma finishing it in 7.5 hours.

So who do you think is going to win Biggest Loser?

I think Patrick is going to do it, although Frado has come a long way too!
