Breakfast Turkey Sausage Patties

---

From the healthy and light section of july 2005 issue of southern living. Recipe description says any sweet crisp apple or pear may be substituted for the fuji apple. I was suprised how spicy and flavorful these were. My husband really enjoyed them, and he hates turkey and all forms of fruit combined with meat. Go figure.
