  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, add pork, rosemary, brown sugar, salt, lemon zest and juice, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and red pepper. Using hands, mix sausage mixture until just combined. Shape sausage mixture into 12 patties. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to cook.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches of 4, add sausage patties to hot oil in skillet.
