Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Line the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. While the sweet potatoes are cooling, mix the whole wheat bread and egg, and mix well until bread is softened and a paste forms. Stir in the ground turkey, thyme, sage, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp of the salt, and 1/4 tsp of the black pepper.

  4. Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal sized patties and sauté in a medium non-stick sauté pan coated with cooking spray for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the center of the patty reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  5. Once the sweet potatoes have cooled slightly, peel the skins off (they should be easy to peel off by hand) and add the peeled sweet potatoes to a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper. Mash with a potato masher or sturdy whisk until fluffy.

  6. Serve one sausage patty on top of a scoop of the mashed sweet potatoes.
