Ingredients for this Weight Watchers Turkey Sausage Recipe
Sweet Sausage Ingredients
- Fat free ground turkey or chicken: lean ground turkey or chicken has less fat than pork sausages, which will help keep your ww personal points down.
- Cinnamon & nutmeg: I love the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg in this sweet sausage recipe. The warmth of these spices complements the apple wonderfully.
- Green apple: A fresh apple is perfect for this recipe, choose green for a nice balance in flavors. The apple gives the sausage a perfect hint of sweetness.
- Bone broth: There are many store-bought options for incredible bone broth, be sure to look for low sodium bone broth. If you’d like to make your own bone broth you can use this easy chicken crockpot bone broth recipe.
- Salt: to taste
Savory Sausage Ingredients
- Fat free ground turkey or chicken: I typically choose lean turkey for this recipe but ground chicken works great too if you want to make chicken sausages.
- Garlic: fresh minced garlic will add a zing to these savory sausages! Garlic powder can also be used in a pinch.
- Red onion: freshly chopped onion is best, but you can use onion powder if you don’t have onions on hand.
- Cumin: cumin will add a little spice to these sausages, giving them a more robust flavor.
- Black pepper: the black pepper complements the cumin. Feel free to adjust the amount of pepper to your tastes.
- Bone broth: low-sodium bone or chicken broth is what really gives these sausages their savory flavor.
- Salt: (to taste)
How To Make this Weight Watchers Turkey Sausage Recipe
- First, put the meat, broth, and spices into a large bowl. Make sure the apples/onion (depending on which type of sausage you’re making) are diced up super small–if they’re too big the sausage patties will have a hard time sticking together.
- Then mix the ingredients together with your hands. You might be tempted to skip the bone broth, but in addition to its nutritional value, it helps these patties to not dry out.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper or a slipmat and then, using your hands, form the sausage mixture into 12 small patties.
- Cook sausage patties in the oven at 375º for 25 minutes or so.
- I like to cook them for about 10 minutes per side. If you’d rather fry them, make sure to count the oil or cooking spray.
Recipe Tips
- This is one of my favorite easy meal prep breakfast recipes that will keep you feeling satisfied for the whole week! To meal prep:
- Place your completely cooled, cooked low carb breakfast patties on a baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap. Once frozen, remove them from the sheet and place them in a freezer-safe airtight container.
- To re-heat frozen homemade breakfast sausage, warm a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can also heat them up in an air fryer!
- If you choose to cook on the stove, a large nonstick skillet can help ensure that the breakfast patties stay together when flipping.
- These sausage patties are healthy because we stuck with clean ingredients and skipped the brown sugar, maple syrup, and other ingredients that are more of a treat instead of a daily meal.
- Protein packed breakfasts are a must on the Weight Watchers Freestyle program. This delicious meal comes out to over 20 g protein per serving!
- All zero point foods should be eaten in moderation. You should not eat until stuffed, you should eat until satisfied. These are the recommendations that Weight Watchers uses on their list of zero point foods so I try and stick to them as well.
Weight Watchers Points
I used the WW app online recipe creator to calculate the ww points using both chicken and turkey and as long as you are using low fat varieties of either the points are the same.
Serving Sizes: Recipe makes 12 patties. Each serving is 3 patties.

I made the savery version and it’s really delicious. The only change that I made was to brown them in a non stick pan with just a tiny spray of cooking oil. They were just so white and ugly right out of the oven!
