This meatless sausage patty is the most convincing non meat-trying-to-be-meat recipe I have ever made. I first learned it from a Youtube channel called I’m Still Workin. Since she uploaded the video, a few other Youtubers shared their own versions and I was so impressed, I decided to present my own rendition. (Check out her video here.)
How Was Meatless Sausage Developed?
This recipe for poor man’s sausage was developed during World War 2 when meat was rationed and either doubled its volume by fillers or replaced by fillers all together, like this recipe.
What Is Meatless Sausage Made Of?
It uses rolled oats combined with sausage spices and eggs. You form the mixture into patties and fry until golden.
Then you add a flavourful stock and simmer for 20 minutes, then fry them again. The result is a perfectly springy, spicy and surprisingly satisfying “sausage” patty! Simmering the patties after the first browning seemed a little odd to me at first, but I believe this step creates the meaty texture one tries to achieve when emulating meat from plants. The liquid can include a boullion cube, soy sauce, herb scraps or nothing at all. I recommend adding at least a little flavour to it as sausage is naturally a savoury, flavour packed delight.
How Can I Make Meatless Sausage Vegan?
If you want to make these vegan, replace the 2 eggs with 6 tablespoons of aquafaba. I have tried it, and it works! This is simply the water that is drained from a can of chickpeas, or saved from cooking your own. Only until recently it was discovered that aquafaba (“bean water”), can replace eggs in many vegan recipes. If you’d like to learn more about aquafaba and even make your own, click here and I will show you how!
You can also use flax eggs. For each egg required in a recipe, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 2 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for several minutes until it turns thick and goopy, like egg. This acts as a binder, making it a suitable replacer for eggs. It is also a high source of Omega-3, among other benefits. If times are tough or you are trying to cut back on meat but still crave a hearty, satisfying sausage patty–try this recipe! They make great breakfast sandwiches. You can also crumble them into simmering tomato sauce for a tempting meat free Bolognese. If you didn’t tell a carnivore the difference, they likely would never know. I challenge you to try it!
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning OR 1/4 teaspoon sage, 1/4teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs OR 3 egg whites OR 6 tablespoons aquafaba
2 cups water
1 boullion cube or 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl combine oats with poultry seasoning (or sage, thyme, rosemary and oregano), fennel seeds, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, red chili flakes (if using), parsley flakes, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add to oat mixture and stir well to combine. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Oats will hydrate and mixture will be easier to form.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add boullion cube or soy sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Form oat mixture into 4 or 5 patties. In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil on medium and fry patties until golden, 1-2 minutes. Flip and brown the other side.
Reduce heat and add hot stock. Allow patties to come to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
Discard stock or save for gravy. Return pan to medium heat and add a little more oil. Fry the patties a second time, flipping after a minute or two. Remove and serve immediately.
What is Impossible Sausage made of? Impossible Sausage Made From Plants contains many of the same ingredients you recognize from Impossible™ Burger. It's packed with soy protein, sunflower oil and coconut oil for a fatty mouthfeel, and soy leghemoglobin for a craveable, meaty taste.
Many ingredients go into making meat-free sausage. Some common base ingredients in successful vegetarian sausage recipes are chickpeas, lentils, and tofu, all of which are often mixed with other ingredients such as breadcrumbs. Added to this base are other vegetables and grains like quinoa.
These pea protein based sausages have a reassuringly short list of ingredients and are also a pretty healthy option, being high in protein and low in saturated fat.
The truth is, probably not. Plant-based sausages sold in supermarkets are likely to have just as much salt as their meat counterparts, so they're unlikely to make it onto a list of health-foods. However, vegan sausages are likely to have considerably less saturated fat making them a healthier option overall.
WATER, PEA PROTEIN+, REFINED COCONUT OIL, HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL, 2% OR LESS OF: NATURAL FLAVORS, BROWN RICE PROTEIN, METHYLCELLULOSE, POTATO STARCH, FABA BEAN PROTEIN, FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE COLOR, SALT, APPLE FIBER.
There are several different options when it comes to making a sausage substitute. The key is texture. The most common are TVP (textured vegetable protein), extra-firm tofu, and tempeh. They're firm, meaty, and great for making crumbles that are excellent for tacos, pizza, and salad toppings.
Mushrooms, aubergines and various types of beans can provide a really hearty, meaty taste that's perfect for replicating that of pork sausages. A lot of these vegetables also have a fairly high water content, providing that juiciness that every good sausage needs.
Impossible Sausage is juicy, savory, pre-seasoned meat made from plants. Perfect for breakfast (or any meal, really), Impossible Sausage contains no gluten, no animal hormones, and no antibiotics. It's also available in grocery stores and restaurants nationwide.
Pork sausage is considered one of the most unhealthy types of sausage as it tends to have a higher fat content than chicken or turkey sausage. Additionally, sausages that are highly processed, with many ingredients added, would be considered to be less healthy than sausages made with fewer ingredients.

Con #1: Plant-based meat can be more heavily processed than animal meat. As some plant-based meat and mock meat products are created to replicate animal meat, they may undergo more processing. This leads to a high content of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar.
Some vegetarian hot dogs are just as processed as regular meats. “However, many brands do include fiber, which may help lower cholesterol levels, alleviate constipation, and maintain blood sugar control,” Gans explains.
The new Beyond Burger significantly improves that health profile. It has 10 percent of the recommended intake of saturated fat and 14 percent of the recommended intake of sodium. A single patty has 230 calories, which is the same as the outgoing burger. For comparison, a Kroger-brand 80/20 beef patty has 290 calories.
Impossible™ Ground Sausage Meat From Plants has 30% fewer calories, 47% less total fat, and 42% less saturated fat than the leading brand of pork ground sausage when cooked. * What's more? Impossible Sausage has no animal hormones or antibiotics, so you can be sure you're eating good and eating right.
A single serving of Impossible Sausage Savory, made to mimic a ground pork sausage, has 20 percent of the daily recommended value of saturated fat. By comparison, the Tofurky sausage, which contains canola and sunflower oils, has just 8 percent of the saturated fat value per serving.
Impossible Sausage contains many of the same ingredients you recognize from other Impossible™ products. Soy protein concentrate to pack it with protein; sunflower oil and coconut oil to give it a fatty mouthfeel; soy leghemoglobin to give it a craveable, meaty taste… you know the drill.
