Time 1h45m

Yield 15 six-inch links

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless turkey thighs, cubed
1 pound pork fatback, cubed
1/2 cup chopped fresh sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
Small pinch of nutmeg
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Kosher salt
1/2 cup cold whole milk
1/2 cup white wine, chilled
One 8-foot hog casing, soaked in water 30 minutes and then flushed with water
Crusty buns, for serving
Spicy brown mustard, for serving
Grilled red onions, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the turkey, pork fatback, sage, garlic, chives, pepper, nutmeg, orange zest and 2 tablespoons salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight.
  • At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill.
  • Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer. Add the milk and wine and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Stuff the sausages (see Cook's Note) and, for best results, refrigerate overnight.
  • Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Serve in split toasted buns with spicy brown mustard and grilled red onions.

HOMEMADE TURKEY SAUSAGE



Homemade Turkey Sausage image

These low-fat homemade turkey sausage patties are simple to prepare and can be refrigerated or frozen. Be sure to buy ground turkey with some fat in it, ideally 93 percent lean, because some fat is needed to achieve that rich sausage essence. Besides, even with that much fat, the meat qualifies as lean.

1 teaspoon whole fennel seed
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

Tips for Making Homemade Turkey Sage Sausage

  • Choose high-quality turkey meat. The best sausage starts with the best meat. Look for ground turkey that is fresh and free of any gristle or fat.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but fresh herbs and spices will give your sausage the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the sausage. Overmixing will make the sausage tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Stuff the sausage into casings or form it into patties. If you are using casings, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. If you are forming the sausage into patties, be sure to flatten them evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the sausage until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the sausage should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion

Homemade turkey sage sausage is a delicious and versatile sausage that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey and it is also a healthier alternative to traditional pork sausage.

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own homemade turkey sage sausage at home. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy sausage option, give this recipe a try.
