Recipe: Chicken Apple Breakfast Sausage (Paleo & Whole 30 Compliant)

chk_apple_bfast-SausageChicken apple sausages are everywhere these days. There are, I’m sure, hundreds of recipes for Paleo or Whole 30 Compliant floating around Pinterest these days, and mine is no different. It’s Paleo. It’s Whole 30 Compliant. But it’s the seasoning that makes it a little different.

Enter Fenugreek.

I’ve never been a huge fan of maple syrup or maple flavorings. It’s a super strong flavor and it just tastes sickly sweet to me. Fenugreek is a spice that’s often described as a cross between celery and maple in flavor. It’s slightly sweet and nutty, and perfect for breakfast sausage!

The ingredients are simple: salt, pepper, fenugreek, chili pepper paste, one small apple and 1 lb ground chicken.

Just grind your fenugreek if it isn’t already ground and shred your apple. Then just mix it all together in a bowl with the chili pepper paste, salt and pepper.

  2. When I read the blog title I was convinced I misread it! Now after reading it I have to try this out. It looks easy to prepare and you don’t need a tonne of ingredients. My friends are going to be very surprised when I post this we don’t have this recipe in this part of the world. Thank you for sharing 🙂
