Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup TVP textured vegetable protein
- 1 cup warm vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet (optional)
- 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil plus more for frying
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs or quick oats
Instructions
- Rehydrate TVP: In a large bowl, add the TVP and pour the warm vegetable broth over it. Let the TVP rehydrate for about 15 minutes until it has absorbed all the broth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir well to combine. If the mixture feels too wet and does not hold together, add extra breadcrumbs or quick oats to achieve the right consistency.
- Form Patties: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized sausage patties.
- Pan Fry Sausages: Heat a few tablespoons of neutral oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- Serve or Store: Serve the sausages immediately as part of your breakfast or refrigerate up to 4 days. They can also be frozen. To reheat, use an air fryer, microwave, or oven until warmed through.
Notes
- Kitchen bouquet is optional and mainly affects the color, making sausages darker without changing flavor.
- For gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce, gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour, and gluten-free certified quick oats or breadcrumbs.
