Total time: 25 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon maple syrup; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder; 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage; 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 to 2 teaspoons liquid smoke, optional; 1 pound ground pork

Maple syrup, sage, thyme and a little liquid smoke lend comforting flavor to these hearty pork patties. I developed the recipe with help from neighbors who were willing taste testers. —Margaret Eid, Huron, South Dakota.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons liquid smoke, optional
1 pound ground pork

Directions

In a large bowl, mix maple syrup, salt, spices and, if desired, liquid smoke. Add pork; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight 2-1/2-in. patties. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook patties over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 4-6 minutes per side.

Health Tip: Try these with lean ground turkey. The patties will be slightly more delicate to work with, but they'll have the same savory goodness.

Made these yesterday and they were delicious. I used only half the cayenne pepper called for and no salt or liquid smoke. I served each one on an english muffin with a slice of cheese and a fried egg. Wonderful. Will definitely be making these again.
