• Lean Ground Pork– I used a ground pork with no added salt or preservatives, and it came to 65 mg of sodium per 4 ounce serving (for ~4 patties). Like any meat, I try to buy meat that has a nutritional label (rather than the unlabeled generic grocery store packaging) so I can tell the exact ingredients and amount of sodium in the meat. You could also make this recipe with the same amount of ground chicken or lean ground turkey.
• Maple syrup:for the perfect hint of sweetness! I recommend usinga pure maple syrupor brown sugar in this recipe. Make sure you use pure maple syrup which has just 5mg of sodium per serving, and not ‘pancake syrup’ which can contain additives and preservatives.
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Low Sodium Worcestershire Sauce: for that unbelievably tangy umami flavor that bring the classic taste to these burgers! I love usingthis low sodium Worcestershire saucein lieu of salt, at only 45mg sodium per serving, a little goes a long way on flavor.
• GroundSage– for a wonderful herby flavor, I love adding sage to sausage!
• BlackPepper
• DriedRosemary– I liked the extra herby flavor of rosemary, but you can use ground fennel seed or Italian seasoning too, for a more homemade Italian sausage vibe.
• Red Pepper Flakes– optional, if you like a little heat! Or you can use cayenne pepper. I added them in my sausage patties and it was just the right amount of spice, highly recommend.

How To Make Sausage Without Salt

1. In a large bowl, add all ingredients: ground pork, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, sage and rosemary, and chili flakes if using. Mix well to combine.
2. Heat a cast iron pan (or nonstick skillet) over medium heat. If you are using a regular pan (not non-stock) you can add a little olive oil or cooking spray if desired.
3. Form the ground sausage mixture into 1-inch balls, about the size of a golf ball. Press them gently into patties. You should make between 12-15 patties (I made 14) depending on the size.
4. Add the patties in a single layer to the cast iron pan, and cook for 4 minutes on each side until the patties begin to brown. Patties will be done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Serve hot, and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
