  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, black pepper, salt, sage, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

  2. Take the mixture and shape it into 8 equal-sized patties.

  3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat it with nonstick spray.

  4. Place the patties in the skillet and fry them until they are browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center. This should take about 15 minutes.

  5. To ensure they are fully cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the patties. It should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  6. If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can increase the amount of cayenne and black pepper.

  7. Sage can be substituted with thyme or you can use a combination of both.
