Best Ever Homemade Breakfast Sausage (Whole30, Keto)
This Best Ever Homemade Breakfast Sausage is my go-to recipe for sugar free pork breakfast sausage! A simple combination of ground pork and herbs & spices come together to create a flavorful breakfast staple. This sausage is quick, simple, and family friendly! Gluten free, dairy free, Keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly!
It can be tricky to find breakfast sausage that isn’t loaded with sugar and additives. Luckily, it’s super easy to make your own at home! And it’s also more cost effective (and even more delicious, in my humble opinion). I used ground pork, but you can also use ground chicken or turkey if that is what you prefer.
What You Need to Make This Best Ever Homemade Breakfast Sausage
- 1 lb ground pork (or turkey or chicken)
- Olive oil or avocado oil
- Fennel seeds
- Salt
- Ground sage
- Thyme
- Garlic powder
- Cayenne
- All Spice
- Pepper
That’s it! One pound of meat will yield 6 sausage patties. You can double it for a great meal prep option!
How To Make This Best Ever Breakfast Sausage
Combine the meat and spices in a bowl and mix well using clean hands. Form the mixture into 6 patties, about 3 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick.
Heat the oil in a large cast iron pan or non stick pan over medium high heat. Add the sausage patties and cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they’re cooked through.
Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain some of the fat. Serve alongside your favorite breakfast foods and enjoy!

This recipe is so tasty! And it’s quick and easy to prepare! I’ve made the patties, but I’ve also just browned the ground turkey and seasonings and eaten that way, too, for a nice variety.
This recipe is so quick, easy, and has incredible flavor! It has been on repeat in my house!
