Ingredients

  • 1 pack or 4 large turkey sausages, casing removed
  • 1 bunch Andy Boy broccoli rabe, rinsed
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cook the broccoli rabe. Remove the stems. Place about 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook for exactly 1 minute. When ready, transfer the broccoli rabe into a bowl of ice water for another minute. Remove the broccoli rabe from the ice water and place in a large bowl.

3. In the same bowl as your broccoli rabe, add sausages, garlic, chili powder and salt and combine until incorporated.

4. Form small patties (about 8) and place on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
