Carrageenan Free Herb & Ginger Mini Sausage Patties
Sausage patties sound simple enough, but store-bought versions are notorious for sneaking in fillers, binders, and additives — including carrageenan, which shows up in processed meats more often than most people realize. Making them from scratch with ground pork and a handful of real ingredients is the cleanest way around that problem. Fresh sage, thyme, and parsley bring a bright, herby backbone, while grated ginger and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon give the whole thing a warmth that feels a little unexpected and completely addictive. Ground turmeric adds a gorgeous golden hue and a subtle earthiness that ties all the flavors together. Coconut oil in the pan helps each patty develop a deep, caramelized crust that's genuinely hard to resist. These are the kind of patties that make a weekend breakfast feel like something worth waking up early for — and since you control every ingredient, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in them.
