Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds optional ground sage
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, besides the olive oil, together in a bowl. Form into small balls.
- Place one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and allow to heat (you will see it shimmering, but don't allow it to smoke).
- Working in batches, place sausage balls in the oil and cook until brown on the outside and cooked all the way through, for about 8 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with the second batch, adding more oil, as necessary.
- Place on serving platter and insert toothpicks to serve. Turkey sausage balls are great served with marinara sauce or a clean eating sweet and sour sauce.
