In a large bowl mix pork, maple syrup, garlic, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper, and nutmeg together. I find it's easiest to use your hands to mix together the sausage.
Make (about 12) smaller-sized breakfast sausage patties and either cook them immediately or package them to freeze.
If cooking, immediately heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook until both sides are browned and the pork is fully cooked about 10-15 minutes.
