Maple-Glazed Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients:

• 1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 4 fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 1 small clove garlic, pressed
• 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds, crushed
• 2 tsp. plus 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, divided
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lb. ground pork

Directions:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, sage, garlic, fennel, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix in the pork until well mixed.
