Turkey Sausage Patties Recipe
By Wendy Zitzman
After making these Ground Turkey Sausage Patties, I will never buy pre-made sausage from the store again! Super easy to make, and boasting a wonderfully fresh and multi-note flavor, I was so excited to create a good, reliable homemade turkey sausage recipe.
The turkey is mixed with spices and then left to sit overnight in the refrigerator, so all you have to do in the morning is cook them. Turkey can be a bit difficult to work with, as it can tend to be quite dry when cooked. So make sure not to overcook them. You can also add more olive oil to the meat if Weight Watchers Points aren’t a concern.
This is an absolutely ideal Weight Watchers Christmas recipe that you can prepare for Christmas morning, perhaps alongside my Baked Pumpkin French Toast. It would also work really well for Easter or Sunday Brunch.
They are delicious, low calorie, and incredibly easy…I highly recommend giving them a try, ASAP!

Light Baba Ghanoush Recipe

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have some family from Israel staying with us for a few weeks over the holidays, and I got to spend a lot of time watching them work their magic in the kitchen.
My mother-in-law can cook with eggplants like nobody’s business, and I was determined to master her delicious baba ghanoush recipe. In case you’ve never heard of baba ghanoush, it’s a middle eastern eggplant dip that is one of the most amazing foods I’ve ever had.
