Banquet Fully Cooked Turkey Sausage Patties
What it is
These are pre-cooked sausage patties made from ground turkey. They are designed for convenience, offering a quick and easy way to add sausage to meals. The patties are typically seasoned and browned before packaging, so they just need to be heated through. They are a good option for those looking for a lighter alternative to pork sausage.
How people cook with it
These versatile patties can be incorporated into a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes. They heat up quickly, making them ideal for busy mornings.
- Breakfast sandwiches
- Added to omelets
- Side dish for brunch
To heat, you can place the frozen patties in a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are warmed through and lightly browned. Alternatively, they can be heated in a microwave for about 60-90 seconds, or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving. They are already cooked, so the goal is simply to warm them up.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raw sausage, these fully cooked patties save significant cooking time. They also tend to have a more uniform texture and less grease release during heating than some raw pork sausages. The flavor profile is generally milder than pork sausage.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused patties frozen in their original packaging. Once thawed, they should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days. For best quality, store them in the freezer until ready to use.
