We used to eat Bob Evan’s turkey sausage and loved it – it had a short ingredient list made up of natural foods and seasonings and it tasted great. Then it stopped being carried in our local grocery stores – oh the HORROR! We tried some other brands but the taste just wasn’t the same, so I went on the hunt for a breakfast sausage recipe and found one on allrecipes.com. After a few tweaks due to missing ingredients and personal taste preferences, my boyfriend has declared the final product to be a winner so here it is…
