Turkey italian sausage

[RapscallionVermilion]

Made 5 lbs of turkey Italian sausage with the last four legs from last years birds.


I've made this recipe before with pork and can confirm it is a killer with turkey thighs too. I followed the recipe to a T using turkey thigh meat instead of the lean pork, but added about a tablespoon of red pepper flakes for some heat.

BTW, if you aren't familiar with Hank Shaw's site for cooking fish and game, it is really worth a look.

Looks great!

Looks tasty! Did you use fat back or some other pork part?

Pretty close to solid pork fat from my butcher, which I assume is fat back but he doesn't label it that way. Now that I think about it, I probably went closer to 1 1/4 pound of fat to go with the 4 lbs of turkey meat because the turkey is so lean.

Sounds good Mike, I'll have to try that.
