Paleo Herb & Ginger Breakfast Sausage Patties
Store-bought breakfast sausage is loaded with fillers, sugar, and preservatives that have no business being on your plate first thing in the morning. These patties are built from ground pork and a genuinely impressive lineup of fresh herbs — sage, thyme, and rosemary — rounded out with garlic, ginger, turmeric, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon for warmth that feels almost exotic at breakfast. Everything gets mixed by hand and pressed into patties, so the whole process is refreshingly straightforward with almost no cleanup. Coconut oil gives the outside a gorgeous, deep golden crust while keeping the cook entirely grain-free and in line with whole-food eating. The combination of anti-inflammatory spices and quality pork means you're starting the day with real fuel, not a mystery ingredient list. Make a double batch on Sunday and you'll have a fast, satisfying protein ready to grab all week long.
