52 Weeks of Fresh Breakfast Ideas – Week 13 – Turkey Breakfast Patties
I’m taking the bull by the horns so to speak. I haven’t been getting along with breakfast for some time and I aim to rework that this year. Join me in my quest to find 52 Fresh Breakfast Ideas that don’t leave me feeling heavy or my family still hungry. We may revisit dishes you already know or find some new favorites but my goal for 2014 is a new appreciation for breakfast.
Sorry I’m late with this post. I’ve been scouring my computer for images of these great breakfast patties and at this moment I don’t have any.
So try and picture this….Fluffy white (or buckwheat brown) biscuits cut in half with a savory ground turkey patty on top, topped with hit the spot scrambled egg, and finally finished off with the top of the biscuit.
Imagine a nice big bag of these in the freezer ready to be heated (in the oven) and a little piece of foil for a yummy, warm, on the go breakfast.
I’m talking about making breakfast patty sandwiches.
I make these mostly for my husband who takes off at running leap each morning. He doesn’t like to stop for breakfast so an on the go package like this works really well for him.
Here’s how I put together the breakfast sandwiches….
Make or purchase some round biscuits.
I mix up my ground turkey patties and cook them in the oven.
Scramble some eggs. Usually as many eggs as biscuits.
When everything is done stack your breakfast patty sandwiches together. Then wrap in foil and put in freezer bags for the freezer. When you’re ready to eat them heat them up foil and all in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
You can mix your turkey patties up with any number of spices but the recipe below is for a version that gives a little kick.
Spiced Up Turkey Breakfast Patties
