Using your fingers or a large fork, combine the pork, maple syrup (if using), and spices in a large bowl until just combined (don't overmix).
Let this sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for the flavors to come together. You can cook the patties right away, but the flavor is so much more delicious when it gets a chance to meld.
TO COOK, heat a small amount of avocado oil in a large skillet (just enough to lightly coat the bottom) over medium heat. Divide the sausage mixture into 12 portions, roll into balls, and flatten into patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through.
TO FREEZE, cool the patties completely in the refrigerator. Lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and wrap with plastic to keep them airtight. Once frozen, you can stack the patties in a freezer safe bag or airtight container until ready to use.
TO REHEAT, microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time until heated through. OR Preheat the oven to 325ºF and bake for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
Enjoy!

I love the subtle flavor the maple syrup adds to these sausages, but it's totally fine to leave it out! Be sure you do if you're making these on a Whole30, or avoiding sugars.
