To cook the turkey breakfast sausage, you can pan-fry it in a skillet over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Turn the links occasionally to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, you can bake them in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Microwaving is also an option for a very quick preparation, following package directions. Ensure the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consuming.
