Breakfast Sausage

If you are eating this on its own (instead of mixed into a recipe) you may want to add a little more salt. You also can substitue chicken or turkey if you don't want to use the pork - again, add a little extra salt.


Ingredients:
1/2 pound extra lean ground pork
1 TBS Minced red onion
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp salt

In a medium bowl mix together all ingredients.
With clean hands or a fork, mix well.
Divide mixture into 4 equal parts.
Shape each into a ball.
Between two sheets of wax paper, flatten each ball into a 4" diameter patty.

Can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.

To cook:
heat skillet to medium high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it.
Lightly spray pan with cooking spray.
Cook the patties for aobut 2 minutes on each side until they just start to brown and are no longer pink inside.

I calculated these out to 1 HU for 1 patty, 3HU's for 2 patties.
