Ingredients

2 pounds pork sausage
1 zucchini, finely chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, or as needed

Steps:

Mix sausage, zucchini, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Form mixture into 10 patties.
Cook patties in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
