Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl combine the pork, bread crumbs, egg white, garlic, thyme, parsley and the salt and pepper. Try not to overwork the mixture but make sure it is well blended.
Divide the mixture into twelve portions and form into links or patties. Place the formed sausages on a parchment lined plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
To cook the sausages, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet. Heat on medium-low heat until the oil is shimmering. Fry the sausages for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Add the additional tablespoon of olive oil to the pan in between batches if needed. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Notes

You can freeze the fully cooked sausages and re-warm in the microwave when needed.
Optional add-in's to flavor your sausage (but not all at once!): sage, rosemary, fennel seeds, nutmeg, brown sugar, cayenne, red pepper flakes, and ground cloves
