This easy whole30 breakfast sausage tastes surprisingly like the store bought stuff but with no added sugars or preservatives. It comes together with 6 ingredients in only 5 minutes, so this easy Whole30 breakfast sausage will become a new Whole30 breakfast favorite! Also a fantastic paleo breakfast sausage for your paleo breakfast bakes. Nom.
The other day, I was relating to the sausage confessions of Michele at Paleo Running Momma… You know, how she used to be embarrassed to be the type of girl who ate sausage? That it wasn’t feminine, or something. It was one of those moments where the internet makes you realize you’re not nearly as awkward as you think, and all the weird quirks you thought you had are just normal, everyday human weirdnesses.
Deep AF.
That is to say, I, too, am recovering from sausage shame, having in the past preferred to publicly admit to loving, I don’t know, birdseed or something. Carrots? “I just looooove radishes!”
said the dream-girl version of 15-year-old Cheryl.
Now? I’m older and certainly wiser. I’m also too busy to care. You know what? Birdseed sucks; sausage rules. It’s a proven fact, at least since the study only surveyed humans and not birds.
To celebrate our newfound self-confidence, I made you easy Whole30 breakfast sausage. There’s only 6 ingredients (7 if you count salt, which, don’t, because I like how ‘6 ingredients’ sounds better) and it only takes 5 minutes to prepare. Uh, what?
Yeah, if you’ve ever tried to find Whole30-compliant sausage at the store, even at a fancy place like Whole Foods (just take my money), it’s not happening. It’s not even a matter of paying $9.33 for a pound of Whole30-compliant bacon; you just can’t find it. And turns out, that’s a good thing, because yup, making your own only takes 6 ingredients and 5 minutes. It’s a matter of sprinkling seasonings over some ground pork, mixing it all up, and frying it in a pan. Easy peasy.
I have an exciting recipe coming soon that uses this Whole30 breakfast sausage in a pretty damn creative and delicious way, and I can’t wait to share it with you! If you’re not subscribed already, you can make it official here. ? I promise you don’t want to miss the upcoming recipes!
This easy Whole30 breakfast sausage recipe would be in Whole30 breakfast casseroles or paleo breakfast bakes. It’s phenom in my Whole30 breakfast bake with sausage, eggs, spinach, and mushrooms!

Did this recipe perhaps change? I could have sworn that I use to put a pinch of ground ginger in vs. the tbsp of ground ginger printed here? I am going to try it with the tablespoon and hope for the best as my family has always loved this recipe! Thanks!
Cheryl Malik says
Eek! Thanks for pointing that out. We had some issues with transferring our recipes to a new recipe card plug-in, but we will get that fixed now!
Patti says
The comment from Lisa mentions a pinch of ginger vs a tablespoon of ginger. You commented that you had some issues with transferring and that the tablespoon was a mistake. However, in the recipe it states a pinch of cloves. I’m wondering which spice is correct. I’d love to try this recipe, but I’m unsure as to which spice to use.
Cheryl Malik says
The current amounts are the correct ones!
Sue says
Very good sausage recipe but I reduced the amount of ground cloves to 1 teaspoon. Next time even less.
JoBeth says
Holy smokes!!! This recipe is AMAZING!!! I agree with someone else’s comment if there aren’t enough stars. I bought a 10 lb package of ground port from Sam’s a decided give making my own breakfast sausage a try. I’m over the moon about this recipe….and it’s Whole30!?!! Delish!!
Amelia Camurati says
Glad you love it!
Jill says
This recipe doesn’t have enough 5 stars. Even when I’m not doing Whole30 I try to stick to mostly compliant recopies. This breakfast sausage is the best. Really easy to make, and delciious every time.
Cheryl Malik says
Thank you so much!
Abby says
Have you tried this sausage recipe with any meat besides pork? Maybe ground turkey or chicken?
Cheryl Malik says
It would totally work!
Stephanie says
Have you tried to replicate the 365 chicken sausage? That was very good. I have tried but have not been satisfied with my results.

Cheryl Malik says
We have not tried it, yet!
Jessie says
What poultry seasoning do you use? The one I found on Thrive Market has entirely different ingredients than the one I found on Amazon. Both are Whole30 compliant, just not sure which will have the best flavor. Thanks!
Tedi says
Love these. This morning I was unprepared, starving, ready to cheat and go get pancakes. But I found this recipe and it saved my morning. Quick, easy and delicious! Thank you!
Amy says
Do you just make the patties and then freeze uncooked? How long should you thaw before cooking?
Cheryl Malik says
You can! You don’t need to totally thaw them to cook by any means – just enough for them to no longer stick to each other!
Cara says
Can you also freeze them already cooked and thaw them to eat them? Or does that not work as well?
Amelia Camurati says
Absolutely! You can freeze these cooked or raw and reheat them quickly if they’re pre-cooked or thaw and cook normally if raw.
