These little patties are packed with so much fragrant, layered flavor that it's hard to believe they come together in minutes. Ground pork gets seasoned with fresh sage, thyme, and parsley alongside warm notes of ginger, turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon — a combination that smells incredible the moment it hits the pan. One of the trickier parts of following the autoimmune protocol is finding convenient, satisfying proteins that skip nightshades, eggs, grains, and seed-based spices entirely, and these patties do exactly that without sacrificing any depth. Coconut oil gives each patty a beautifully golden, slightly crisp crust while keeping everything compliant and dairy-free. The recipe makes 12 small patties, so you get a generous serving of three per person across four servings — perfect for a hearty breakfast or a quick protein alongside a simple side. Mix everything by hand, press into rounds, and you're about eight minutes of skillet time away from something genuinely delicious.

Combine the ground pork, garlic, ginger, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, sage, thyme, parsley, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — stop as soon as the mixture is uniform.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1.3 oz / 37g each) and press each into a flat round patty roughly 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
