Ingredients
Before you begin cooking, gather the following ingredients:

Preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer to cook the sausages in the oven.

Cooking Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links on the Stovetop
1. If you’re cooking the sausages on the stovetop, add the chopped onions, peppers, and spices to the skillet. Sauté them for a few minutes until they’re soft and fragrant.
2. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the turkey breakfast sausage links to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re browned and cooked through. Be sure to flip them halfway through cooking.
3. Remove the sausages from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
Cooking Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links in the Oven

3. Remove the sausages from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
