Servings: 2 pounds
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground pork [See Note 1]
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons poultry seasoning [See Note 2]
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes , more or less, to taste
- Optional Seasoning:
- 2 tbsp Pure Maple syrup
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
Instructions
- Combine ground pork {see Note 1] with all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, knead the mixture until well combined. Form the mixture into 2-inch rounds.
- For immediate use: Saute sausage patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick skillet. Cook until brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Alternatively, you may freeze the patties for up to 3 months. [See Note 5)
Notes
1). Ground turkey may be substituted for the ground pork.2). Poultry seasoning is a blend of spices including sage, thyme, and rosemary. If you prefer you can use a combination of these spices instead of using poultry seasoning.3). I like maple sausage, so I sometimes also add pure maple syrup to sausage.4). You may like to add fennel seeds for a more fenel taste to your breakfast sausage. I have guests who prefer not to have fennel seeds so I often omit these. 5). Form patties and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper and individually freeze the patties. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
