In a small bowl, combine the ground pork, fennel seeds, dried sage, smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed, then divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a round patty about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

Heat the neutral oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage patties and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are deep brown. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) with no pink remaining at the center. Transfer to a plate.
