2 pounds lean ground pork or turkey, at room temperature
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon rubbed sage

1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

In a deep bowl, combine all ingrediellts, using hands if necessary. On wax paper, shape and roll mixture into 2 logs 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
To serve, slice the rolls into rounds about 1/2 inch thick and fry in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
