What You Need to Make a Turkey Breakfast Sandwich

There are not a lot of ingredients for this recipe. You can absolutely make the turkey patties from scratch or buy them frozen. Make sure to follow the cooking instructions on the package if you opt for frozen turkey patties. However, making them from scratch is easy and quick. It is also much healthier because there are no added sugars or preservatives.

For this sandwich, I fried the egg over medium so the yolk is runny and mixes with the flavors of the turkey patties. Feel free to cook the eggs according to your preference.

How To Make a Turkey Breakfast Sandwich

Start by making the turkey patties first if you are making them from scratch. If using frozen patties, just follow the instructions on the box to cook them.

To make the turkey from scratch, in a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, parsley, sweet paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands so the ingredients are well incorporated.

Form small balls with your hands and then press down with your palms to form the patties.

Heat a frying pan, add olive oil, and cook the patties. Cook on both sides for several minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Next, cook the eggs. Heat a pan to medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Crack the eggs and cook until the whites are almost settled but the yolks still runny.

Using a spatula, flip the eggs and cook for an additional one minute for over easy eggs. Cook longer if you want the yolk to be firmer. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate.

In the same pan and grease, toast the English muffins. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Make the spicy mayo before assembling the sandwich. In a mixing bowl, combine mayo and hot sauce. Whisk until creamy and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.

To assemble the sandwich, spread the mayo on the English muffins. Place the turkey patties on the bottom half of the English muffin. Top with the cheese, tomato, lettuce, and a fried egg.

Close the sandwich with the other half of the English muffin. Serve immediately.

What condiments go best on these breakfast sandwiches?

A lot of condiments match the flavors of freshly grilled turkey breakfast patties, but I mostly like mayo and mustards. You can play around with flavors and drizzle with ketchup, hot sauce, or buy a unique spread from the store. Chipotle mayo is a good option as well.

Bread and butter pickles or other pickled vegetables are also a great option. If I do say so myself, avocado and microgreens create magic on that little breakfast sandwich!

Can you make turkey breakfast sandwiches ahead of time?

You absolutely can make these ahead of time! They store well in the fridge and in the freezer. I often make them for breakfast meal prep. Simply wrap the assembled sandwiches in paper towels and place in a zip lock bag or airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to three months.

When you are ready to enjoy them, dampen the paper towel and heat in the microwave. For frozen sandwiches, you might have to microwave them just a little bit longer.
