Chicken Apple and Sage Sausage Patties

Cook by Color here with Chicken Apple and Sage Sausage patties. Make the whole recipe to feed a crowd or cut it in half and be full of regret that you can’t redux it for another meal. I use dark meat chicken so the patties remain tender and flavorful with that higher fat content making it all come together beautifully. 

We eat greens at every meal, and these to go breakfast salads are perfection. Two sausage patties, half a medium cooked duck egg, some tomatoes, avocado and a drizzle of olive oil, with a side of fruit.  

Even though “meal prep” is misunderstood to sound like some awful Sunday torture – it’s a self care practice that can be anywhere on a broad spectrum. I personally CAN’T with a wall of Tupperware dictating my meals for the week.  I like variety so I cook every night, and make enough for Nick and I to have a few meals.
