- 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 lb Ground turkey or chicken
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 6 eggs
- 6 cheddar cheese slices
- 6 English muffins
In a large bowl mix together ground turkey, fennel, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Form 6 patties.
Preheat 1 tbsp olive oil over med-high heat and then add patties to skillet, cooking for 5 minutes per side until sausage patties are cooked all the way through. Remove sausages from heat.
Wipe frying pan clean with a paper towel, then spray with cooking spray and turn heat to med-low. Crack eggs into egg rings, ensuring that the rings are firmly touching bottom of skillet so eggs maintain a round shape (see link above for egg rings), then break yolk.
Cover skillet with lid and cook eggs for about 4-5 minutes or until eggs are firm.
Lightly toast English muffins in a toaster, then add cheese slices to bottom of muffins. Add sausages and eggs on top of cheese slices and and top with remaining English muffin buns. Serve and enjoy!
Make these McMuffins even healthier by using provolone cheese and whole wheat English muffins.
