Microwave Chicken & Apple Breakfast Sausages

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried apples
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Natural pork casing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken and finely chopped dried apples.
- Add the salt, black pepper, ground sage, ground thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Ensure the mixture is cohesive but not overly compacted to maintain moisture.

2. Prepare the Casing:
- Rinse the natural pork casing under cold water to remove any excess salt and ensure they are pliable.
- Soak the casing in warm water for about 10 minutes to further soften and make them easier to handle.

3. Stuff the Sausages:
- Using a funnel or sausage stuffer, gently feed the chicken and apple mixture into the casing.
- Regularly twist the casing to create individual links, each measuring about 4 inches in length. Ensure no air pockets form, as they may cause bursting during cooking.

4. Cook in Microwave:
- Place the sausages on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. Leave space between them for even cooking.
- Microwave on medium power (50%) for about 3 minutes. Check for doneness by slicing one sausage to ensure the meat is opaque and no pink remains.
- Turn the sausages over and microwave for an additional 2 minutes if necessary, adjusting time based on your microwave's power.

5. Serve:
- Allow the sausages to cool slightly before serving. Pair with eggs or a light salad for a complete breakfast.
