"I was looking for a replacement for Morningstar Farms frozen sausage patties, and found recipe 380398. I've altered it slightly, and am posting it here so I won't lose it."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Yields: 8 patties
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup textured vegetable protein
• 1⁄2 cup boiling water
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup flax seed meal
• 1⁄4 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3⁄4 teaspoon sage
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground fennel
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1⁄4 teaspoon molasses
• oil

directions

1. Boil water and add TVP, let sit 5 minutes.
2. Measure dry ingredients in a bowl, stir to mix.
3. Add TVP, mix well.
4. Measure all liquid ingredients in a measuring cup (I use the one that had tvp in it.) Stir well. If you use warm water, the molasses and syrup mix better.
5. Add wet to dry, stir well. If it's still sticky, stir in 1-2 tablespoons extra whole wheat flour.
6. Shape in 2 inch balls.
7. Heat oil over medium heat, and add sausage balls, flattening as desired. (Mom likes them fat, I like them thin.) Cook about 2 minutes per side.
8. Freeze leftovers.
