Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (680g) ground turkey (93% lean or dark meat for best results)

- 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp ground fennel seed
- Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
- Olive oil cooking spray (for baking sheet)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground turkey, low-sodium broth, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped sage, chopped thyme, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and ground fennel seed. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, if time permits.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
