I needed a break from eggs every single morning for breakfast so I decided to buy some prepackaged chicken and apple sausage. It was very good but loaded with sodium so I got online and began researching recipes to make my own. I found this recipe from Stupid Easy Paleo. It is very good and not as sweet as the prepackaged apple breakfast sausage. I made a double batch so I would have extra this week for breakfast. I also cooked them on my grill instead of in a pan. Since I was making a double batch this was easier for me. They turned out great! I think next time I may try ground turkey or chicken for something a little different.
Here is the Recipe courtesy of Stupid Easy Paleo:
Apple Pork Breakfast Sausage Patties Recipe( *http://stupideasypaleo.com/2012/12/11/apple-breakfast-sausage-patties/)
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Serves: Serves 3 to 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or fat of choice
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 apple, peeled and minced (I used a Pink Lady apple)
- 1 lb (454 g) lean ground pork
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp ground fennel or fennel seed
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a spoonful of your fat of choice. Sautee the onions until translucent, a few minutes. Add the apple and sautee both until softened, about 5-6 minutes total. Let cool for a few minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pork, sage, fennel, salt and pepper. When the onion / apple mixture is cool, add and mix well. I use my hands.
- Form the sausage mixture into patties. I made mine about 2″ (5 cm) in diameter but you can make them as big or small as you’d like.
- Heat the same skillet to medium-high. Add another spoonful of fat and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through completely
