Name: Bobby Flay's Breakfast Sausage Patties
Ingredients: 1 large or 2 small bay leaves; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; 3 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped; 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped; 2 teaspoons dry mustard; 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey; 2 teaspoons Kosher salt; 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons canola oil

Ingredients

Scale

1 large or 2 small bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil

Instructions

Using a spice grinder, grind the bay leaf and the red pepper flakes into a fine powder. Add the sage, thyme, and dry mustard and pulse twice to combine.
Combine the spice mixture with the ground pork in a large bowl along with the salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly dispersed throughout the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
To cook the sausage, form the mixture into thin patties.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the patties until golden brown on each side and completely cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness.
Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve with your favorite breakfast foods—scrambled eggs, toast—or add to a buttermilk biscuit to make a delicious breakfast sandwich. Enjoy!
