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 is completely weeknight-friendly. Coconut aminos add a subtle umami depth without any soy, and the fresh parsley and thyme keep things bright and herbaceous. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from oats and oat derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination stress to worry about. Store-bought breakfast sausage is a minefield for hidden fillers and binders, but this version is made entirely from scratch with clean, whole ingredients you can trust. The trick of chilling the patties before cooking is a small step that pays off big — they hold their shape beautifully and develop a deep, golden crust in the skillet. Coconut oil gives the exterior a gorgeous sear while keeping the flavor profile cohesive from start to finish. These are the kind of patties that make you wonder why you ever bought the pre-made kind in the first place.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, parsley, thyme, and salt. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — do not overwork.
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.
