"Don't be daunted by the long list of ingredients. This recipe has lots of herbs and spices, but the list is flexible. I think the sage is necessary for an authentic sausage flavor (and I personally like the fennel), but the other herbs and spices can be mixed and matched according to your taste - and what you have in your spice rack."

ingredients

1 lb ground chicken (not too lean) or 1 lb turkey (not too lean)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon sage
1 teaspoon sage
1 tablespoon parsley
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons thyme
¹⁄₄ teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon fennel seed
¹⁄₄ teaspoon hot paprika
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon celery salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ginger
¹⁄₂ cup apple, grated (about 1/2 of a granny smith)
¹⁄₃ cup hazelnuts, chopped (or whole, shelled pistachios)
¹⁄₄ cup golden raisin (optional)

directions

If you're using the golden raisins, reconstitute them by simmering them briefly in a little water, apple cider, or apple juice and letting them sit for a few minutes. Toast the hazelnuts if desired.
Mix all ingredients.
Allow to chill in the refrigerator, covered, for one hour or overnight.
Form into 2-inch patties (or size of your choice). I do this with a small ice cream or meatball scooper and then flatten them out on the grill.
Fry in butter over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

I'm a home cook in Washington, DC. I enjoy learning about new types of cuisine and I especially love spicy foods. My cooking style is comfort food with a global twist. Favorite cookbook: Anything from "The Best American Recipes" series. I have yet to make a recipe from those books that I didn't like! Pet Peeve: Picky eaters!!! You don't know what you're missing!
