When Griddler

has preheated, open unit to extend flat. Drop the batter onto the grill plates, using a scant

quarter-cup measure. Cook the pancakes for 3½ to 4 minutes. When pancakes are bubbling on the top, turn

and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Blueberry Oat Pancakes are best served hot. Pancakes can be kept

warm by placing them on a rack on a baking sheet in a low (175º–200°F) oven while cooking the remainder.

Serve with warm syrup and butter as desired.

Griddler

Position: Closed or Flat

Selector: Griddle

Plate Side: Griddle

Makes 10 sausage patties (about 1¾ ounces each)

ounces ground turkey (can use very lean)

ounces lean ground pork

⁄

cup very finely chopped tart apple

tablespoon very finely minced onion

tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (1 tablespoon dried parsley)

teaspoon rubbed sage

teaspoon thyme

teaspoon kosher salt

teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

teaspoon paprika

Put all ingredients into a medium bowl and mix as for meatloaf – combining thoroughly to distribute the

seasonings evenly. Unlike ground meat for burgers, which should not be overmixed, it is important to

completely mix the meat and seasonings. Shape into ten patties of equal size (about 1¾ ounces each, 1½ to 2

inches in diameter). This may be done the night before, or sausage may be made ahead and frozen.

The sausage may be cooked using either the flat or closed griddle position. For closed griddle cooking, preheat

the Cuisinart

Griddler

to 425°F with the unit closed. Arrange the sausage patties evenly spaced on the hot

griddle plate. Cook the patties for 5 to 6 minutes, until they have reached an internal temperature of 170°F.

This is a great, quick way to cook sausage for sausage biscuits or other breakfast sandwiches.

To cook the sausage patties on the full griddle, preheat the Cuisinart

In the flat position, cook the sausage for 14 to 16 minutes total, turning once after 8 minutes. Cooking on the

full griddle allows you to cook eggs or pancakes to accompany the sausage, either on one side of the Griddler

or when finished cooking the sausage.

Recipe note:

If you have a Cuisinart

Food Processor, you may use it to chop your own freshly ground turkey and pork.

Follow the instructions that accompany your processor. After chopping the meat, you may add the chopped

apples, onions and seasonings using the pulse until completely combined.
