Ingredients
1 lb ground pork
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, brown sugar, sage, thyme, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
2. Place ground pork in a large bowl. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the meat.
3. Add cold water and gently mix everything with your hands or a spoon until just combined.
4. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and form into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (160°F internal temperature).
6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For leaner meats like turkey or chicken, add a teaspoon of olive oil to retain moisture.
Always test a small patty before cooking the whole batch to adjust seasoning.
To freeze, lay patties on a tray, freeze until solid, then store in freezer-safe bags.
