Breakfast Sausage

In a medium size mixing bowl add ground pork, garlic, brown sugar, fresh sage, thyme, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, poultry seasoning, paprika and onion powder. Mix using your hands or a large non stick spatula until combined and seasonings are evenly distributed.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions shaping into even size patties. Place onto a wax paper lined sheet pan.

In a 12 inch skillet or similar, over medium heat, cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until an internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast items.
