Chicken Apple Sausage

Perfect for some protein for lunch or breakfast! 

MUCH better than the fatty, preservative laden store bought versions!

Ingredients:
1 medium tart apple, cored, peeled, and chopped
5 green onions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds organic boneless, skinless chicken thighs extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil, for cooking

1. Place the apple, green onions, sage, salt, and pepper into a food processor fitted with the “s” blade; pulse 
    a few times. Then add the chicken and process until the chicken is ground and the mixture starts to form a       ball. It does not take long, only about 30 seconds. 

2. With oiled hands, form mixture into about 8 patties and set onto a plate or cookie sheet. Heat a large cast        iron skillet over medium-low heat, then add about one tablespoon of oil.

3. Add four of the patties to the pan, cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. 

Repeat with remaining patties. Serve.
Yield: 8 sausage patties
