These little patties pack a serious punch of flavor — fragrant with fresh sage, thyme, and parsley, warmed through with ginger and turmeric, and finished with a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon that makes the whole thing feel almost exotic. Most store-bought sausage products are loaded with additives and emulsifying agents that have no business being in your breakfast, but this recipe keeps things completely clean with nothing but real ingredients you can actually pronounce. Ground pork, fresh aromatics, a pinch of salt, and a splash of coconut oil — that's genuinely all it takes. The technique is simple but satisfying: mix just until combined, press into neat little rounds, and let a hot skillet do the heavy lifting until you get that deep golden crust on each side. Because there are no binders or fillers holding these together, the key is not overworking the meat — a quick one-minute mix is all you need to keep the texture tender rather than dense. They're the kind of thing you'll want to batch-cook and keep on hand for busy mornings, tucked into eggs or eaten straight off the plate while they're still sizzling.

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.
