Notes

How to Make Maple Breakfast Sausage: Add 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup to the sausage mixture.

Poultry Seasoning is a combination of ground sage, nutmeg, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and black pepper. It's an easy way to enhance the flavor of the sausage without needing to add each ground seasoning separately. You can adapt using 1/2 teaspoon of ground sage and a dash of nutmeg, if preferred.
