Notes:
Fennel seeds give this sausage its signature flavor. You can use either whole or ground fennel (I use whole because it’s usually what I have on hand). This recipe can be doubled and half of the uncooked mixture can be frozen for future use. Sausage can be formed into patties before cooking. Cook over medium heat about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Optional add-ins: 1-2 teaspoons brown sugar 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
