Ingredients

8 oz. extra-lean ground pork tenderloin
1 1/2 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. dried savory flakes
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Pinch of allspice
Olive oil spray
2 whole-wheat English muffins
1/2 oz. light cheddar or American cheese (a heaping 2 Tbsp. shredded)

Directions
Mix the meat and spices until well combined. Divide the meat into two equal patties slightly larger in diameter than the muffins. Place a medium frying pan over high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Cook patties 3-5 minutes per side, or until no longer pink inside. Meanwhile, lightly toast the muffins, add cheese to the bottom halves and place one sausage patty on each followed by the top halves of the muffins. Makes two sandwiches.
