Beef, Pork, Turkey or Lamb Patties

The following patty recipes are a good addition to the breakfast menu.  If eggs are not an option for you, they can be one of your only options.  Serve them with bone broth and some fruit and you have a good start to your day. They are perfect also for a protein snack or an easy meal. Following are three similar, but different ways to make meat patties.  They freeze well between parchment paper, so try them all and freeze for quick use.  Though these patties can be fried in a pan, I prefer the easier oven method.


Italian-Spiced 50/50 Sausages 
   
Prep time 
20 mins  
Cook time 
20 mins  
Total time 
40 mins  
  
Serves: 8-10 patties 
Ingredients 
  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef 
  • 1 pound pastured ground pork 
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano 
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme 
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (optional) 
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder 
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt 
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil 
Instructions 
  1. Place the ground beef, pork, herbs, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl and combine well with your hands. Form into 8-10 patties and place on a plate. 
  1. Heat the solid cooking fat in the bottom of a cast-iron skillet or frying pan on medium heat. When the fat is melted and the pan is hot, add patties, cook 10 minutes a side, or until thoroughly cooked. You may have to do this in two batches. Alternately, you can bake them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until they are cooked throughout. 
Notes 
Variation: Feel free to switch up the protein in these--you can make them 100% beef or pork, or add some lamb into the mix!
