Ingredients
  

  • 15 frozen sausage links (nutritional information is for Brown 'N Serve Breakfast Turkey Sausage)
  • Raw sausage patties
  • Meat thermometer
  • Air fryer basket
  • Any type of breakfast sausage (frozen raw, fresh raw, or patties)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen sausage links in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If using raw sausage patties, you can add them now too, ensuring they don't overlap.
  2. These instructions work for any type of breakfast sausage: frozen raw links, fresh raw links, or fresh raw patties.
  3. There is no need to preheat your air fryer for this recipe.
  4. Do NOT spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
  5. Cook the sausage at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through. For patties, flip them halfway through.
  6. If cooking sausage from raw (that is NOT pre-cooked), always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Sausage is safe to eat once it reaches a minimum of 160°F (71°C).

Notes

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure raw sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even browning.
- If cooking raw sausage patties, flipping them halfway through ensures even cooking and browning.
