Chicken Apple Sausage

 

 

Making your own chicken apple sausage is a simple way to take control of ingredients while adding some serious flavor to your meals. It’s a healthier, more affordable option than many store-bought versions—and this sweet and savory blend is perfect for meal prep!

I like to keep it easy and cook mine ground-style for quick breakfasts, but you can also shape them into patties and store in an airtight container for a ready-to-go protein option any time of the week.

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 Lb Ground Chicken

• Note: Using a higher fat percentage ground chicken, with some dark meat, yields a more moist result. However, if you are looking for a more lean option, you can always grind your own meat from chicken breasts using a Kitchen Aid metal grinder attachment

• ½ cup Chopped Sweet Onion

• 1 medium Gala Apple, peeled and minced

• 1 Tsp Ground Sage

• ½ Tsp Fennel Seeds

• ½ Tsp Paprika

• 1 Tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

 

Instructions:

• Add ground sage, fennel seeds, paprika and salt to ground chicken and mix well.

• Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

• Add onion and cook for 1-2 minutes.

• Add minced apple and cook for another 2 minutes.

• Add ground chicken mixture.

• Once the chicken has browned, remove from heat.
