Turkey Apple Breakfast Patties

This delicious recipe came from Katrina Runs for Food over at www.katrina-runs.com. She got it from Clean Eating magazine. Although the recipe calls these breakfast patties, we ate them for dinner and lunch! These are yummy, simple and healthy any time of day. I adapted the recipe to use more dried spices because that is what I had on hand and they were great! My favorite part was how the red pepper flakes gave them a little bit of heat with the sweet turkey and apple. Enjoy cooking and eating!!
