Breakfast Sausage Patties

Ingredients

• ●450 g (1 lb) ground pork (or a mix of pork and turkey)
• ●1 tsp fine sea salt
• ●1 tsp dried sage (rubbed, not ground)
• ●½ tsp dried thyme
• ●½ tsp black pepper
• ●½ tsp garlic powder
• ●¼ tsp onion powder
• ●¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• ●¼ tsp nutmeg
• ●1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional, for maple sausage)

Method

1. Combine the ground pork with all seasonings in a bowl. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed, but don't overwork it (that makes the patties tough).
2. Divide into 12 portions and form into thin patties, about ½ inch thick.
3. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown.
4. *Storage:** Refrigerator for 3-4 days. Freeze uncooked patties between parchment paper in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen over medium-low heat, adding 1-2 minutes per side.
