Drain and Serve
For a classic sweet and savory flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to the pork mixture along with the other spices.
Add 1/4 cup of finely grated Granny Smith apple to the mixture. The apple adds moisture and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the sage.
Increase the sage and thyme slightly and add 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary for a more aromatic, herbaceous flavor.
Substitute ground pork with ground turkey or chicken. Since these are leaner, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter to the mixture to keep the patties moist.

Absolutely. Ground turkey, chicken, or even beef can be used. Keep in mind that leaner meats like turkey and chicken may result in drier patties, so consider adding a little extra fat like olive oil or grated apple for moisture.
Dryness is usually caused by two things: using pork that is too lean or overcooking the patties. For the best results, use ground pork with at least 20% fat and cook them just until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
The most reliable way to check for doneness is with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C). Visually, the patty should be browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center.
