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 [80°C - 95°C]) oven while
cooking the remainder.
Serve with warm syrup and butter as desired.

Breakfast Sausage

Griddler Position: Closed or Flat
TM
Selector: Griddle
Plate Side: Griddle
Makes 10 sausage patties (about 1¾ ounces [50 g] each)
12 ounces (340 g) ground turkey (can use very lean)
4 ounces (115 g) lean ground pork
⁄ cup (75 ml) very finely chopped tart apple
1
3
1 tablespoon (15 ml) very finely minced onion
2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley (1 tablespoon [15 ml]
dried parsley)
1 teaspoon (5 ml) rubbed sage
½ teaspoon (2 ml) thyme
1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) 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 [50 g] each, 1½ to 2 inches [3.75 to 5 cm] 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
TM
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 [76°C]. 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
375°F with the unit closed. 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
finished cooking the sausage.
Recipe note:
If you have a Cuisinart TM 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.

Plate Side: Half Grill/Half Griddle
4 slices bacon – strips or Canadian bacon – or sausage patties

Griddler . Select Griddle and preheat to 350°F (180°C) with the unit closed. Open to
TM
extend flat. Arrange bacon, Canadian bacon, or sausage on grill plate and begin
cooking.
While meat is cooking, brush both sides of each slice of bread with 2 teaspoons (10 ml)
of the melted butter. Use a 3-inch (7.5 cm) round or square cookie cutter to cut a center
out of each slice of bread. After meat has been cooking for 7 to 8 minutes, turn.
Arrange buttered bread and cut-out centers on hot griddle plate. Let cook for 4 to 5
minutes until lightly golden brown and toasted. Turn. Add ½ teaspoon (2 ml) unsalted
butter to the griddle plate in the open center of each slice of bread. Break an egg into
the center of each slice of bread. Let cook until whites are firm, about 4 to 5 minutes. If
desired, carefully turn using a nonstick heat resistant spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes,
to desired preference. Transfer to warmed plates. Season to taste with kosher salt and
freshly ground pepper. Drain bacon or sausage on double layer of paper towels. Slice
griddle toasted cut-out "center" of bread in half and use for dipping.
