In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, oats, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, sage, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, roughly the same diameter as your bread rolls.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage patties and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds and wash the lettuce leaves.
Toast the whole grain bread rolls lightly on a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches: spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted roll. Place a lettuce leaf, a sausage patty, and a couple of tomato slices on top. Finish with the top half of the roll.
Serve the low sodium sausage sandwiches warm and enjoy!
