Sausage Pancakes

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 (4-ounce) link hot Italian turkey sausage
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons apple butter
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes or until soft, stirring frequently. Remove casing from sausage. Add sausage to pan; cook until browned, stirring until finely crumbled. Remove sausage mixture from pan; set aside.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour and the next 4 ingredients (flour through thyme) in a large bowl. Combine 2 teaspoons oil, buttermilk, apple butter, and eggs, and add to the flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in the sausage mixture.
3. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot nonstick griddle or a large nonstick skillet. Turn pancakes when the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked.
