Notes: Ok, so the first change I made was with the breadcrumbs. I used a slice of high fiber whole wheat low calorie bread for the extra fiber, when the original recipe called for seasoned bread crumbs. Perhaps because I didn’t use seasoned bread crumbs, the sausage was way too bland. Coupled with the texture of cooked turkey breast which is heavy and a little dry, it didn’t seem like sausage at all. I need to up the proportions of the spices, and I think it could also use some paprika and a bit of thyme to give it more of a breakfast sausage flavor. I suspect if I mixed it up the night before, covered it and let it sit overnight that would give the spices more time to flavor the meat as well. Finally, I didn’t like the fresh parsley in it either. Next time I will use dried parsley, although normally I prefer fresh herbs.
