breakfast patties
It took some experimenting, but I finally came up with a tasty, healthy way to replace sausage or bacon. Breakfast is a very important meal; but for those who have to watch sodium intake, it can be a difficult meal to prepare. The challenge is to have something flavorful without salt. Cereal and oatmeal get boring day after day. Also, cooking breakfast takes time that we don't always want to give up in the morning. This recipe addresses these "problems" with breakfast. Just prepare ahead and microwave while you are getting ready for work. Yummy!

These breakfast patties are a terrific "foundation" recipe that can be easily peppered with different seasonings and flavors as your mood dictates. Ground flax seed acts as a binder and adds tons of fiber. They are a great low-sodium, low-carb, and low-fat alternative to breakfast sausage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey or chicken (for this recipe I prefer turkey)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 large egg
- 1/2-3/4 cup ground flaxseed
- - fresh ground pepper (2-3 twists of the pepper mill)
- 1 tablespoon blend of dried oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, and garlic powder
- 2-3 pinches crushed red pepper
