Ingredients
1poundground pork
1-½teaspoonsfinely minced fresh sage
1-½teaspoonsfinely minced fresh thyme
1teaspoongarlic powder
¾teaspoonsalt
Pinch black pepper
½cupfresh blackberries, halved
Instructions
Add the pork and spices (sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to a mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix together until well combined. Divide mixture evenly and form into 8 patties.
Gently press berries into each patty, reforming patties as necessary.
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.
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.
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.
If desired, dab patties with paper towel before serving. Alternatively, you can place cooked patties on a paper towel on a large plate until ready to serve.
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 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 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. 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.Serving size: 1 sausage pattyClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*PointsPlus (Old plan)
