Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple grated
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Apple: Grate the apple finely and lightly pat it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated apple, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, sage, cinnamon, salt, and pepper). Mix until just combined.
  • Shape the Sausages: Form the mixture into patties or sausage links, depending on your preference. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the shaped sausages for 30–60 minutes to help them firm up.

Cook:

  • Pan-Frying: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil or butter. Cook sausages for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature: 165°F).
  • Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake sausages on a lined baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Grilling: Preheat grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates and cook sausages for 4–6 minutes per side.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately with your favorite sides or store for later use.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
  • Freeze uncooked sausages individually for up to 3 months.
