Honey Free Ginger & Coconut Aminos Pork Sausage Patties
These savory pork patties are packed with bold, warming flavor — fresh ginger, garlic, turmeric, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon come together in a way that feels almost exotic but totally approachable on a weeknight. Coconut aminos bring a deep, slightly savory-sweet depth that ties everything together without a drop of the sweeteners that can sneak into so many store-bought sausage blends. That's the real win here: most commercial sausage patties rely on honey or other sweeteners for flavor and browning, but this recipe achieves that gorgeous golden crust purely through technique and spice. A quick chill in the fridge before cooking helps the patties hold their shape and lets all those aromatics really settle into the meat. Cooked in coconut oil over medium heat, each patty develops a deeply browned, crispy exterior while staying juicy inside — just make sure to let them rest before serving so all that flavor stays locked in. Fresh parsley and thyme keep things bright and herbaceous, balancing the earthier spices beautifully. Whether you're serving these at brunch or meal-prepping for the week, they're the kind of simple, satisfying recipe you'll come back to again and again.

Instructions

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 oz each) and press each into a round patty roughly 1/2 inch thick. Place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the patties firm up and the flavors meld.
