I recently started making my own Homemade Sausage Patties recipe and they are the bomb-diggity!
Let me tell you why…
They have no mystery ingredients like MSG, high fructose corn syrup, and sodium nitrate, among other weird ingredients I have no idea what they are. They taste good, and I mean good! My kids even gobbled them up with no complaints – and that’s saying something. This homemade sausage patties recipe is one that I can make ahead of time and freeze, making it another freezer meals recipe to make my mornings easier and less stressful. Below is the recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
Homemade Sausage Patties Recipe
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground pork, at room temperature
1.25 lbs ground turkey, at room temperature
1/3 cup pureed or finely chopped onion (puree or chop first in blender or food processor).
2 tsp finely minced fresh parsley, or dried if you don’t have fresh
2 tsp fine Celtic sea salt –>find quality salt products here
1 tsp ground sage (affiliate link)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried basil (affiliate link)
1 tsp dried oregano
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (Buy it on Amazon)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Method:
To begin making this homemade sausage patties recipe you need to combine all the seasonings in a bowl and mix until well blended. Add in ground meat and onion, using your hands to combine thoroughly.
If cooking your homemade sausage patties recipe right away, shape into patties and cook over med-high heat on heavy skillet or griddle sprayed lightly with oil. Cook until nice and brown and no longer pink in the middle, a few minutes on each side.
Oh wait..what was I saying? Sorry this picture is making me drool and want to make and eat some more of this homemade sausage patties recipe. Okay back to the recipe… sorry about that. I get distracted easily.
To shape patties you can either use your hands or do what I did. Take some meat and place between two layers of plastic wrap. With a rolling pin roll out meat to desired thickness.
Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Take a round cookie cutter or top of a drinking glass, and press down to cut out nice round sausage patties.
Transfer to hot griddle to cook or baking sheet to be frozen.
To Freeze:
Shape and roll mixture into two logs about six inches long. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. To use, thaw and slice into patties with knife, then cook.
Or if you like, you can shape into patties, and layer them individually onto a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze. Then remove and add to a freezer safe gallon sized bag.

This is a wonderful recipe. I do not like sausages store bought as you cannot tell what is in them. Good for you. Sausages can be made of pork, beef, turkey, and many other meats. What a great idea to make your own and have them frozen for when you need them. I have a family and they are all pleased I found your site. Thank you
Why Turkey??? Sausage is PORK plain and simple. What are all those spices doing in the recipe.Just enjoy the sausage. You must be a young tree hugging liberal health freak. If it bothers you so much don’t eat sausage.
Actually, sausage is a term used for the shape; meaning it is a meat, or meat substitute, encased in a tube casing. This is why you can have pork, chicken, turkey and tofu different varieties of “sausage”. Also to get flavor you have to add spices.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is only my daughter and me so the amount is a little too much for us. I just used 1 lbs pork (could not find the turkey) and just divided all ingredients by 3. It worked out just fine!
verry tastefull, and not as salty as most sausage patties.
Looks doable but way to much sausage for me to have around. Any idea how to cut it down to 1 pound of pork and no turkey
Hi Pat, that is exactly what I did. I just used 1 lbs pork (could not find the turkey) and just divided all ingredients by 3. It worked out just fine!
Can you cook the sausage patties and then freeze?
You can freeze anything . Just look at frozen cooked burgers, frozen cooked bacon. Good luck
Hello Karrie,
I was looking for sausage recipes online,and how to shape them at home when I came across your site.I really want to try it.They dont sell maple syrup where I am living at the moment.I do wish to add a bit of sweetness to the recipe when I try it.Could you give me more alternatives that I could try?
We have never made sausages at home and this would be my first time.I am a little unsure of what I can use to make the recipe sweet and what quantity I can use it in.Your input would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance and take care.
Ask your butcher for flavour additives to making sausages. There are packages of different flavours, like honey garlic, and October fest , and so on . Some sports shops carry these items also. Good luck
