Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon(s) poultry seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 teaspoon(s) black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoon(s) onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon(s) fennel seed, crushed (only use this if you want Italian sausage)
  • 2 pound(s) ground pork (can also use chicken, turkey or beef)

Instruction

  • In a small, bowl, combine poultry seasoning, salt, ground black pepper, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, garlic and onion powders, and fennel seed (if you are using it to make this Italian sausage). Mix well.
  • Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it.
  • Mix well with your hands and form into patties. Place into refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 hours so the flavors can "marry" or "meld."
  • Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes per side or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
