Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (use the darkest REAL maple syrup you can find)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh sage chopped
• 3/4 tsp dried thyme (or 1 Tbsp fresh thyme - chopped)
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 3/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper sprayed lightly with cooking spray, set aside.

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use hands to mix until just combined.

Spread mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2" - 3/4" thick (this can be adjusted if you prefer a thicker patty). Spray the rim of a 3 1/2" biscuit cutter (or large-mouthed drinking glass) and cut out patties.

If patties are having a hard time staying together, place on wax paper in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Heat vegetable oil (about 1-2 Tbsp) in a large skillet over MED to MED-HIGH heat. Add patties to pan, making sure they aren't touching (you may have to cook in batches), and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to a temperature of 165 degrees F.

Repeat with remaining patties.
