Pork Sausage Recipe

This is an unusual pork sausage recipe. It includes grated apple and brown rice, which not only act as filler but also add additional flavor and texture. Definitely not a country sausage recipe!

I know this makes a good breakfast sausage but it might also be good in this Sausage Gravy Recipe.

1 medium tart apple, peeled and grated
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 pound lean ground pork

In a bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients and mix well. Crumble the ground pork over the mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 1/2-in. thick patties.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook the patties for 4-6 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear.
