Chicken Sausage Patties
In Australia, "chicken sausage" typically refers to pre-made sausage links, while in America, it often refers to patties, commonly known as breakfast sausage. Ground chicken, pork, or turkey meat, known as "mince" in Australia, is commonly sold as "sausage" meat, resulting in the creation of sausage patties made from ground poultry or pork. These patties are a popular breakfast option, especially when combined with sweet ingredients like chopped fruit.
While chicken apple sausage is a common variation, this recipe features a delicious combination of fresh pear and sage, adding a unique flavor profile to the patties. The sweetness of the fruit and the aromatic earthiness of the herbs complement the poultry meat perfectly.

Combine the ground chicken meat with the rest of the ingredients and mix well using your hands. Roll into small flat patties and set aside on a plate. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect or if a piece of pear is sticking out.
Preheat a large skillet/frying pan over medium-high heat and melt a tablespoon of oil. Add the patties, in batches if needed, and without overcrowding the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until well-browned. In the end, turn the patties on their sides for about 20 seconds; you can prop them up against
the edges of the pan. This will brown off the edges slightly. Total cooking time is somewhere between 15-20 minutes depending on how thick the sausage patties are.
Can you freeze chicken sausage patties? Yes. In fact, this is a great recipe for making ahead. You can free chicken sausage raw or cooked. Place pre-made raw patties on a parchment paper-lined plate or a cutting board and stick in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour. Once frozen, transfer to a Ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight or in a microwave and cook as per instructions. If cooked, cool the patties and then freeze as described above. Defrost and reheat.
Can’t find ground chicken sausage / minced meat? Feel free to use turkey or pork instead. I often buy a combination of chicken thighs and some breast meat, take the skin and bones off and slice into smaller pieces, then grind in a food processor in batches to a similar to mince consistency. This way you also know exactly what meat is inside.
