Instructions
- 1Protein Pancake Batter: Combine all dry ingredients (flour, whey protein, baking powder, salt) in a glass bowl.

- 10Filling: Form the turkey sausage into patties and cook in a pan over medium‑high heat until browned on both sides; season with salt and pepper.
- 11In the same pan, pour beaten eggs to create thin egg rounds; season with salt.
- 12Place a half slice of cheddar cheese on each sausage patty and allow it to melt slightly.
- 13Assemble each McGriddle: start with a pancake base, add an egg round, then a cheese‑topped sausage patty, and finish with a second pancake on top.
- 14Drizzle or brush additional syrup over the assembled sandwich as desired.
