- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage (about 4 medium sage leaves)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin

- ⅓ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic, maple syrup, sage, thyme, cumin, ginger, allspice, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until the ingredients are fully blended.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Be careful not to crush them while mixing.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into patties about 1/3-inch thick. Ensure the blueberries are tucked into the patties to avoid popping during cooking.

- Add the patties to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve immediately. For a complete breakfast, pair with fried eggs and a light drizzle of maple syrup.
