Skip the store-bought stuff and make your own healthier breakfast sausage patties. Part pork and part turkey make these lighter but still full of flavor.

We are big on breakfast for dinner around here or brinner as we like to call it. Sometimes it’s just comfort food at it’s finest and other times it’s the fact that most breakfast foods are usually pretty quick and easy to throw together. Either way, it’s always a big hit.

I was craving some breakfast potatoes and sausage but that’s not the healthiest of options so I switched some things up to make a lower calorie but equally delicious brinner.

These Healthier Breakfast Sausage Patties combine pork and turkey to make a lighter version of breakfast sausage. The pork adds the needed fat and flavor while the turkey keeps it light. 

Sweet potatoes replace the white potatoes and are topped with a fried egg for a yummy hash. Oh, so good.

The recipe makes 28 small sausage patties which is way too much for the three of us so I froze half the batch (before cooking them). You have to love a 2 for 1 recipe! Make sure to read the note at the bottom of the recipe for freezing instructions.
