Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except the oil in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into eight patties, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, swirling to coat the surface. Add the sausage patties; cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Cover and cook for 2 more minutes, then uncover. Cook until the patties are no longer pink in the center, about 2 more minutes on each side.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Variation: For a reduced-calorie version, use ground turkey in place of the pork.
