Chicken Apple Sausage Ingredients
Diet-compliant oil, for cooking
1 Golden or Red Delicious apple, peeled and finely chopped
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set a large skillet over medium heat. Melt or drizzle oil in the skillet, swirling to coat. Add the apple and cook until softened, about five minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apple cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cooked apple, and
salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Form the mixture
into 6 patties (about 1/3 inch thick).
