Chicken Sausage Patties
Chicken sausage in Australia typically refers to pre-made sausage links, while in America, it often refers to patties, also known as breakfast sausage.
Ground chicken, pork, or turkey meat, known as mince in Australia, is commonly sold as ‘sausage’ meat. Patties made from ground chicken or pork are often referred to as sausage patties and are a popular breakfast item when paired with ingredients like chopped fruit.
While chicken apple sausage is a common variation, this recipe features a delightful combination of fresh pear and sage. The sweet and aromatic flavors of the fruit and herbs complement the poultry meat beautifully.

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.
