non-processed meat for breakfast (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for ideas for a non-processed meat that goes well with breakfast. In the past, I had bacon, eggs, and maybe some oats or a salad. I cut the traditional bacon, and now have either beans or turkey bacon as my "breakfast meat". But, turkey bacon is still really high in sodium (and is a processed meat) and beans just don't satisfy that meat craving sometimes. And substituting a different meat has been kinda hard; chicken breast, while unprocessed, just doesn't go well with breakfast.

So, I just wanted to know what other people do for breakfast, if they struggle with this dilemna, and any feedback the community has.

Thanks!

Make your own sausage or chorizo without the bad stuff. Grind a cheap cut of meat (pork, beef, chicken, anything) and mix in your favorite spices (just Google the spices used in any specific sausage style you like) and press it into a patty. Since you won't be long-term storing or curing it, you can skip everything but the meat and seasoning while still getting something that tastes like a classic processed sausage.

I like this suggestion. I have bought ground turkey and added spices then flattened to make breakfast sausage patties before. Cooked and frozen so I could quickly reheat add them to future breakfast sandwiches.
