Roast the garlic for three to five minutes or until it is fragrant with black spots on the skin, turning halfway through. Remove sthe garlic cloves.2. TOAST THE FENNEL SEEDS. Be prepared to move quickly. Add the fennel seeds to the hot skillet. As soon as they begin to brown, remove them from the heat and from the pan. Add the toasted seeds to the ground turkey. 3. Chop the pepper into a fine dice. If you want a hotter sausage, keep the seeds in. Add the pepper to the turkey.4. Put one teaspoon of oil in the skillet. Saute the onions until translucent. Remove onions and add to the turkey.5. Add egg white, salt and pepper. Mix well (by hand is best, but a spoon will do.) 6. Your sausage can be formed any way you like - patties, meatballs, or cook all together as crumbles. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in the skillet. Shape sausage as desired and add to pan, cooking until brown all the way through, about 7 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the shape. Turn and move to avoid sticking.Make 5-6 servings.
