For Ground Italian Sausage
For Large Sausage Rolls/ Logs to Slice
Divide meat mixture into 3 portions. Form each portion into a log shape. Know that it will shrink some but otherwise choose the size you want.
Heat a large skillet to low-medium heat (level 2-3). Spray pan with olive oil. Once pan is hot place sausage rolls in the pan and spray the tops with olive oil. Cook for about 3-5 minutes before rolling. Continue cooking and rolling until all sides are cooked.
For Breakfast Links and Patties
Scoop out small portions (approximately 1 heaping tablespoon) and form into a log or a small patty. Gently roll (or flatten out if doing patty) on cutting board or between hands to smooth out surface. It shouldn't, but if the meat sticks to your hands spray a small amount of olive oil on your hands while rolling.
Heat skillet to medium-low heat (level 3). Once hot add links and/or patties and cook 4-5 minutes before rolling or flipping them.
