Kroger Turkey Sausage Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground turkey, seasoned and ready for cooking. They offer a savory flavor profile often associated with breakfast sausages but are made from poultry instead of pork. The patties are typically uniform in size and shape, making them convenient for quick meal preparation. They are a popular choice for those seeking an alternative to traditional pork sausage.
How people cook with it
Turkey sausage patties are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a variety of meals throughout the day.

To cook, place the frozen or thawed patties in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety. They can be served whole or crumbled into other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pork sausage, turkey sausage generally has a lighter flavor and a leaner profile. The texture can also be slightly different, often a bit firmer. The seasoning blends may vary, but turkey sausage is typically seasoned to be savory and slightly spiced, mimicking traditional breakfast sausage.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated until ready to use. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. Once opened, store any unused patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days. For longer storage, keep them frozen.
