Ingredients:

turkey breakfast sausage:

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey

1 tablespoon minced sage

2 teaspoon minced marjoram

2 teaspoons crushed fennel seeds

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divide

6 slices American cheese

6 English muffins, split

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325˚F.

2. Lightly grease a 9”x13” baking dish and pour in beaten eggs.

3. Bake eggs for 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and cool.

4. Using a 4 inch circle cutter, cut out 6 egg rounds and set aside.

5. Place all turkey sausage ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together until completely combined.

6. Divide mixture into 6 balls and flatten each ball into 4 inch wide patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

7. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl around skillet to cover.

8. Add half of the patties to skillet and sear on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook until all patties have cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes.

9. Transfer patties to a plate and set aside.

10. Pour remaining tablespoon of oil into the skillet. Raise heat back up to medium-high, add remaining patties and repeat step 8.

11. Transfer remaining cooked patties to plate with other turkey patties and cool.

12. To assemble: Once egg rounds and sausage patties are completely cooled, place a sausage patty over each split English muffin and top with an egg omelet round, followed by a slice of cheese and the English muffin tops.

13. Transfer English muffins to a gallon-sized silicone or plastic resealable bag, remove as much air from bag and seal. Place bag in freezer and freeze all the sandwiches, for up to 3 months, until ready to eat.

14. To serve: Preheat oven to 375˚F. Remove frozen sandwiches from freezer bag and transfer onto a baking sheet, 1 inch apart.

15. Toast sandwiches in oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until sandwiches have heated through and cheese has melted.
