Grilling Machine to catch drippings from the cooking process.

The Champ’s Sausage Without Guilt

You can start your day with a sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes

good, but is also good for you. This moist, flavorful sausage, served with

a country-style biscuit, makes the complete breakfast. Choose ground

turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground turkey containing dark

meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is a good source of

niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to maintain a healthy ner-

vous system.

1 slightly beaten egg white

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup finely snipped dried apples OR

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple

1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

2 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. ground sage

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 lb. lean ground turkey breast

•In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, dried or

fresh apples, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, sage, nutmeg, black pepper,

and cayenne pepper. Add the ground turkey and mix well.

•Shape the mixture into nine 2-inch wide patties.

•Preheat the Grilling Machine. Place the patties on the grill. Close the

Lid. Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the

juices run clear, turning once or twice.

•Yield: 8 - 9 patties

This recipe is from "The Healthy Gourmet" (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie

Calbom.

George’s Sausage Texas Style

A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages

are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and egg

scramble. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety

percent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being satu-

rated fat; whereas 73% lean beef has 18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams

being saturated.

1 slightly beaten egg white

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 cup diced green chili peppers

1 clove (large) garlic, finely minced

2 Tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro

1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1-1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 lb. lean ground beef

•In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, bread

crumbs, green chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder,

salt and cayenne pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well.

•Shape the mixture into eight 3-inch wide patties.

•Preheat the Grilling Machine. Place the patties on the grill eight at a

time. Close the Lid.

•Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the

juices run clear, turning once or twice.

•Yield: 8 patties
