As you walk the path toward healthier lifestyles and healthier meals, one of the first things people tend to leave out is meat, like bacon, pork, and sausage! For those who truly enjoy the flavors and textures of sausage, that’s a big taste deficit. Thankfully, not all of those are really that unhealthy if prepared properly. And, we can use other meats to fill in a healthier option in some recipes. Our Food Editor has come to your rescue this week with a great recipe that should fit the bill nicely, leaving out the preservatives and MSG found in almost every commercial sausage. Hope you enjoy!

1 pound ground meat: choose from either ground pork, chicken, or turkey or a combination of these. (We have tested with both pork and turkey in our S’mores lab. Chicken is next!)

1 1/2 tsp. Sage

1 1/2 tsp. Minced Garlic

1 tsp. kosher salt or Himalayan Salt

1 tsp. fennel seeds

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Mix ground meat, brown sugar, garlic, sage, salt,fennel seeds, pepper flakes and nutmeg in a bowl.

Divide sausage mixture in half and shape each half into a log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill til slightly firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. Unwrap logs and slice into twelve patties, reshaping as needed

Fry sausages in large nonstick skillet lightly coated with oil, such as peanut oil or coconut oil, over medium high heat til cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. transfer sausages to a paper towel lined plate.
