How to Make Lean Homemade Sausage

  1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients using your hands until evenly mixed. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours), to allow the flavors to meld and the sausage to firm up.
  3. Shape the sausage mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, broil for 4-5 minutes per side, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade lean sausage patties!
