Turkey Breakfast Sausage

If you love breakfast sausage, it's time to start making your own turkey sausage patties at home. They take less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish and make the perfect breakfast side. When it comes to breakfast , I lean towards savory dishes like omelets, frittatas, and eggs . Paired with bacon or sausage, it's a simple breakfast that I will happily eat every day. However, when it comes to breakfast sausage, I normally have two problems. The healthy breakfast sausage options tend to be very expensive and the more affordable options tend to be really high in saturated fat or sugar.  That's why I started making my own! With just a few simple ingredients, it's easy to make really tasty turkey sausage at home. Make up a big batch and you can even freeze extras for later. Why We Love Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage Budget-friendly: These sausage patties are more affordable than store-bought options. Healthy: This unprocessed and natural sausage is made

Baked Blackened Tilapia

This Baked Blackened Tilapia covered in homemade spice rub couldn't be easier to make! It's the best quick weeknight meal when you need something fast, healthy, and delicious.  Serve it with veggies and rice, or fold in tortillas with some quick slaw for Blackened Fish Tacos .  When I need something quick and nutritious, fish is always at the top of the list. But it still has to be packed with flavor, especially when it comes to mild white fish like tilapia, which can be bland sometimes. Today's recipe solves that problem. Adding blackening seasoning is the perfect solution to ensure that the tilapia is packed with flavor. It brings big smoky and spicy flavors with just a few common pantry spices. The butter adds richness to the fish and also cuts the spice slightly. Plus baking ensures it comes out perfectly flaky every time without any mess. We also love making this Blackened Salmon ,  Blackened Mahi Mahi , and Blackened Shrimp .
