Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
¾ teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Gravy:
2 tablespoons bacon grease or butter
¼ cup flour
2½ cups whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Other Ingredients:
Fried egg
Cooked bacon
Cheddar cheese
Baked Potato
Instructions
1. Make your sausage by combining all ingredients, place in refrigerator and let sit at least 1 hour, or as long as overnight.
2. Cook your baked potatoes or use leftovers. This is a great way to use extra baked potatoes from last night’s dinner, for an amazing breakfast.
3. Brown your wild turkey sausage in a skillet with a little bacon grease or butter since wild turkey lacks fat. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet over medium heat, add grease or butter and then flour until its completely combined and smooth. Keep whisking until the flour is slightly browned with a nutty scent.
5. Slowly add milk, whisking as you pour. Make sure it’s fully combined as you add more. Salt and pepper to taste, add red pepper flakes if you want more of a kick. Continue cooking until desired thickness is reached.
6. Open your hot potato and add cheese, bacon, breakfast sausage, gravy and top with a perfectly fried egg.
