Chicken Sausage Patties

 Ground chicken is combined with herbs and spices, and formed into sausage patties. Cooked til tender and served with a luscious cream sauce, this meal pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or cooked rice.

Jump to Recipe

I have never been fond of ground meat, or sausages. Growing up, it seemed like anytime I would eat a dish my mom prepared with ground beef, or sausage, I'd end up biting down on a piece of grizzle. To this day, if I eat meat with grizzle, or fat, I am totally turned off. That is why I mostly make chicken and fish here at home. In recent years I have been using more ground chicken and turkey in meals for myself, while making beef for the rest of my family. 

Ground chicken is a wonderful substitute for ground beef, in many dishes like tacos, shepherd's pie and meatloaf. For that reason, I decided to try and create something similar to sausage patties, however I wanted these to be hearty enough to be served for dinner. This is a simple and easy dinner recipe, that is kid friendly and perfect for busy weeknights.

What are sausage patties?

Sausage patties are a common breakfast item here in Canada and the U.S. They originally were made of scraps and trimmings from livestock, in order to reduce waste. Today sausage patties are predominantly made with a mixture of ground pork, ground pork and beef, or ground chicken and turkey; usually seasoned with sage and sometimes maple syrup. 

How do I cook sausage patties?

Typical breakfast sausage patties, are usually pan fried, cooked on a flat top griddle or baked. They can also be crumbled in breakfast casseroles, or cooked in a white gravy, served a top biscuits (known as sausage gravy). 

In my recipe, my mixture of ground chicken and herbs are formed into patties and seared in a hot pan, Once browned on both sides, they are them simmered until moist and tender. 

To make my sausage patties, I used similar spices my family uses in Tourtiere. Every Christmas my parents make a bunch of Tourtiere and sometimes end up making sausages (without the casing). They season them with onion and warm spices such as cinnamon and cloves. The contrast of the warm spices with the pungent onion, is delicious! I did switch it up a bit, using chicken instead of pork and beef. Also we don't season our tourtiere with ginger, but I went with fresh ginger, for my sausage patties. After pan frying the patties, I deglazed the pan with some chicken stock. I was planning on making a pan sauce, but I decided to add sour cream to thicken the sauce, rather than a rue. The result paired fantastically with the chicken, onion, and spices. The sausage patties reminded me of my childhood, but the sauce brought new life to a dish I remember so well. I served it with rice, to soak up all that YUMMY sauce, but these would be equally good served with cauliflower rice for a low carb option, or mashed potatoes.

Chicken Sausage Patties

1 lb extra lean ground chicken
1/2 large onion, minced
1-inch fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
fresh ground pepper
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 C chicken stock
1 C sour cream

In a bowl, combine ground chicken with chopped onion, fresh ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, sea salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Using a medium cookie scoop, form into patties.

Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over med high heat. Cook patties until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for another 5 or so minutes; until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Remove patties from skillet, to a plate.

Deglaze pan with chicken stock, scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, until stock reduces slightly. Return patties to the pan and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove pan from heat and gently stir in sour cream.

This dish pairs perfectly with rice (cauliflower rice for low carb), or mashed potatoes.

  2. Your recipes never disappoint. The family loves sausage patties but this looks like a better version. I like how it's served over rice. Have you ever tried it over noodles? Maybe like a stroganoff?

    1. I have yet to try them with noodles but I think the sauce would be great with an egg noodle!

  3. I agree with Red Beans and Eric above. My family loves sausage patties over noodles. Especially with lots of gravy. And I think they'd love your chicken sausage served this way!

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
