This Paleo Breakfast Sausage is packed with flavor and is made in just a few minutes. It's easy, healthy and so delicious! It will become a breakfast staple.
Making homemade sausage is so great because you can control what goes in it and it's so simple to make. A handful of spices and 10 minutes for some truly delicious breakfast sausage.
Breakfast Sausage Seasonings
Sage is what really gives it that signature sausage taste. I remember growing up, we made biscuits and gravy with sage sausage, so I definitely like to be generous with it- sometimes I even add extra. I like to buy fennel in the bulk section, but I just get a tiny bag of it. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion and red pepper flakes round out the spices to give it so much flavor.
I eat a lot of eggs and they can get boring, so this is such a great way to switch it up. Or add it to a breakfast casserole or patty it out for a breakfast sandwich. So many options!
Chicken, Turkey or Pork
I usually buy ground turkey for this because it's easy to find, but ground chicken or pork both work just as great.
This sausage is good in baked eggs, in a hash, made into patties or just served along side eggs and potatoes. You will be so surprised how simple it is to make and how delicious it is! Make it once and never go back! Here are some more breakfast recipes to love:
