Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium, peeled and finely diced Apple
- 0.5 medium, finely diced Onion
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or ghee
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, diced apple, diced onion, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the pork mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the coconut oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the sausages in the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the sausages for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
Remove the cooked sausages from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm as a delightful protein option for breakfast or alongside your favorite Paleo sides for a complete meal.
