How to Make Fresh Blackberry Sausage Patties, Step by Step

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Ready to make the sausage patties

Step 2: Add the pork and spices (sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to a mixing bowl.

Ready to mix the sausage

With clean hands, mix together until well combined. Divide mixture evenly and form into 8 patties.

Forming the patties

Step 3: Gently press berries into each patty, reforming patties as necessary.

Ready to cook the sausage patties

Step 4: Heat skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick spray before adding patties. Add patties to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes before flipping.

Step 5: Flip patties and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 160F degrees with an instant-read thermometer inserted near center of patty, about 3 to 5 minutes more.

Cook the patties until internal temperature reaches 160F degrees

Step 6: Repeat as needed with uncooked patties, this will depend on size of patties and size of skillet. I was able to fit 4 patties in my pan, so I cooked them in two batches.

Step 7: If desired, dab patties with paper towel before serving. Alternatively, you can place cooked patties on paper towel on a large plate until ready to serve.

Step 8: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

You can also bake these breakfast patties. Add formed patties to a baking sheet (affiliate link) that has been lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Baked in oven that has been preheated to 400F degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until internal patty temperature reaches 160F degrees using an instant-read thermometer (affiliate link) inserted near the center of the patty. Remove from oven and turn on broiler. Flip patties and broil until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Although I haven't tried this yet, you can also cook these patties in an air fryer (affiliate link). I would preheat my air fryer to 400F degrees and then add the patties in a single layer to the air fryer basket and cook in 5 minute increments until cooked through.

If you need to substitute dried sage or thyme for the fresh, a good rule of thumb is to use about ⅓ the amount. So 1 tablespoon fresh is equal to 1 teaspoon dried—though not all dried herbs are created equal, so feel free to adjust to your own taste.
