Ingredients

• For the sausage:
• 1 tsp. whole fennel seed
• 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. ground allspice
• 1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided use
• For the sandwiches:
• 8 whole wheat English muffins (not honey wheat)
• 2 cups lightly packed fresh spinach leaves
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• Flesh of 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• Hot sauce and/ or ketchup (optional)

Directions

1. Whisk together the fennel seed, sage, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder and all spice in a small bowl.

2. Place the turkey in a medium bowl, then sprinkle the seasoning blende evenly over it. Use your clean hands to gently work the seasonings into the meat, being careful not to overmix. It’s OK if they are not absolutely evenly distributed throughout. Form the mixture into 8 (3-inch) patties.

3. Heat half the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add half of th3e patties; cook until nicely browned on the outside an cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, repeat with the remaining oil and patties.

4. To make the sandwiches, toast the English muffins. Place a few spinach leaves on the bottom half of each one. Add a cooked sausage patty; then a slice of tomato and a few slices of avocado on each portion.

5. Add hot sauce and/or ketchup, if desired, then place the top of the muffin on the sandwich. Serve immediately.
