Sausage
Assembly for one sandwich
Directions
To begin, add ground beef, ground turkey, smoked paprika, fennel powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and optionally breadcrumbs and water. Mix by hand until fully combined and the sausage is emulsified. Portion sausage into 3 oz patties. Be sure to make the patties much wider than the English muffin as the lack of fat will cause the sausage to constrict and shrink when being cooked.
Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Once hot, grease lightly with cooking spray and add a sausage patty to the pan. Cook the sausage for 2-3 minutes on each side or until beautifully browned on both sides, being sure not to overcook the meat.
Split and toast and English muffin in a toaster. Over medium heat, lightly grease a non-stick pan with cooking spray and add one egg. Cook until the whites are fully cooked and the yolk is still a bit runny.
To assemble, add one slice of American cheese to the bottom half of the English muffin. Use a kitchen torch or broiler to melt the cheese. Then add the cooked sausage patty followed by the egg. Place the top bun.
