BREAKFAST SAUSAGE BALLS
These sausage balls are at hit in our home! My 9-year-old son can’t stop making yummy noises when I serve these. Yet they are simple and quick! Additionally, I often triple the recipe and freeze 2/3 of the sausage balls, which means I cook one time and produce 3 meals.
INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 pounds ground pork or turkey or a combination of pork and beef
2 Tablespoons fresh sage, minced (I use a food processor)
1-1/2 Tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced (I use a food processor)
2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
1-1/2 teaspoons Real Salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large glass bowl, combine all ingredients. Using your hands, mix ingredients thoroughly.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, transfer walnut-sized sausage balls onto a glass baking pan or baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning half way through. Make sure sausage balls are golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Alternatively, cook over medium-low heat on the stove using a large skillet. Heat the skillet then add 1 Tablespoon avocado oil. Next, gently add the sausage balls. Cook for approximately 8 minutes then flip. When golden brown on the outside and not pink on the inside, sausage balls are ready.
These sausage balls freeze well. Store up to 3 months in the freezer in an air-tight container.
*Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
