Notes
Ground flaxseed can be replaced with an additional 1.2 cup of flour or even an alternate seed (e.g. hemp seed or ground chia). All purpose flour can be replaced with gluten free flour or whole wheat baking flour but I do not recommend omitting the flour all together. Turkey sausages can be replaced with any meat or choice or can be omitted.
