Directions

  1. 1. Note: This recipe makes an Italian flavored sausage. You can substitute sage for the oregano and leave out the paprika to get a milder taste. Ground turkey gives the sausage a lighter flavor; or of course, you can use only ground pork for a heartier, although less healthy, sausage.
  2. 2. Combine and mix all of the ingredients together. Place the sausage in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  3. 3. Form the sausage into two ounce patties. Wrap and freeze.
  4. 4. You can precook the patties, if you like, to an almost done stage before wrapping and freezing. Then all you have to do is microwave them for one minute and they're ready.
