How to Make Lean Homemade Sausage Patties

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  2. Add 1 pound lean ground pork to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook the patties for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
