Good morning! That’s what you will think when you eat those. Honestly, by far, my favourite way to use turkey legs

minutesIngredients
- Breakfast sausage
2 wild turkey legs and thighs, deboned, tendon removed and cubed
1 kg of pork shoulder, skin remove, deboned and cubed
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
- Sandwich (adjust quantity to meal size)
Eggs, cooked over easy
English muffin, toasted
Mayonnaise
Tomato, sliced
Lettuce, sliced
Directions
- Once your meat is deboned, skinned, the tendons are removed and cubed, pass through a meat grinder using the medium-sized blade.
If you do not have a meat grinder, take a large chef knife and cut the meat as fine as you can. I advise working in batches. - Mix the meat with the remainder of the breakfast sausage ingredients. Form patties a little larger than the size of the palm of a hand and about 1/3” thick. (Should make 16 patties)
- Two options for cooking:
1 – Place in an oven in a baking sheet at 425F for 8 mins per side.
2 – Cook in a skillet with a bit of butter over medium heat for 4 minutes per side. - When done, place in an english muffin with an egg over easy, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and your choice of other toppings.
- To freeze, cover a baking sheet with parchemin paper. Add the patties without overlapping. Freeze for 6 hours. Remove from the baking sheet, add all in a bag and place back in the freezer. To cook, cook while still frozen, 4 mins per side in a medium heat skillet with a bit of butter.

SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:
- The wild turkey legs can be replaced by grocery bought turkey leg or pork loin.
- The wild turkey legs can be replaced with wild turkey breast, grouse breast or wild boar.
