Skip the store-bought version and make your own Breakfast Sausage Patties at home. These patties are flavorful, easy to prepare, and can be made with either ground pork, beef, or turkey. They’re perfect for a hearty breakfast or meal prep for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork (or beef/turkey)
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
- Total Time: 20–22 minutes
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, sage, Italian seasoning, cumin, and black pepper.
- If you like a hint of sweetness, add maple syrup. Mix everything well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten them into patties about ½ inch thick.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If using lean meat, you may need to add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for pork and beef, or 165°F (74°C) for turkey).
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a minute. Serve them hot alongside eggs, toast, or pancakes.
