Add the ground pork and 2 T melted lard to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix together.

In a separate bowl, add the fennel, garlic powder, black pepper, sage, salt, and onion powder, mix to combine.

Sprinkle the seasonings over the pork and mix to combine. Form the pork into 8 equal sized patties.
