Pancakes & Turkey Sausage
Fluffy pancakes, crispy turkey sausage links, and warm maple syrup for about $2.22 a serving — the dinner kids cheer for and the one you can make when the fridge is genuinely bare, because complete pancake mix needs nothing but water. The sausage browns in eight minutes while the pancakes cook on a griddle, so everything is ready at once. It is a good choice for a birthday breakfast-for-dinner, a snow day, or a night when nobody wants to eat anything green. Leftover pancakes reheat in a toaster, which makes the next morning easy too.

Steps
- 1Brown the turkey sausage links in a skillet over medium heat, 8–10 minutes; keep warm.
- 2Whisk the pancake mix with the eggs and milk until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
- 3Cook pancakes on a buttered griddle, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
- 4Serve the pancakes with sausage links and warm maple syrup.
Tips & swaps
- Add a mashed banana or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Cook the sausage first and keep it warm in a low oven while you work through the pancakes.
- Mix the batter until just combined — lumps are fine, overmixing makes them tough.
- Freeze extra pancakes flat, then toast them straight from frozen.
