Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped sage, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
