homemade sausage

[beth44601]

We use either ground turkey, or ground chicken. Makin your own homemade sausage is soooo much better than already made with all those preservatives.

Homemade sausage

2 lbs ground meat
1 teas. sea salt
1 teas dry mustard
1 1/2 teas black pepper
1 teas cayenne pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teas ground clove
1 teas thyme
2 teas ground sage
2 teas granulated garlic
1 teas ground cumin

just mix it up and put in fridge to marinate, I leave mine alone for 2 days, much better flavor. enjoy!

Never tried any turkey or chicken sausage

I was just over to the game check station.  A meat packin outfit was over there with a reefer trailer.  They would take your antelope, deer, elk, moose, elephant or whatever and process it for you.

Deer and antelope were $124 each for processing.  Elk, buffalo and large animals were $1.40 PER POUND  for processing.

Specialty items like sausage and jerky and such was $8 per pound.

Makes sense to make your own at that price.  Nobody touches my meat except Susan and I.  I kill it, one of us field dresses it.  I skin it.  We hang it depending on the weather, then we process our own in our kitchen.   The only way to know what got put in YOUR sausage, is to MAKE IT YOURSELF.

Thanks for the recipes Beth.

no problem on the recipes,
we used to dress our own meat, beef and pork, chicken and phesant, turtle.  we did pork and beef for about 1.00 a pound, god knows you can't even touch it now for that!  we eat alot of chicken because well, thats what is cheap. kudos to  you for doing your own and cuttin the middle man out!

I grew up about 20 miles from the nearest surfaced road.  We also did our own hogs and cattle, and anything else that wandered in the line of sights.  We used to butcher in Vo Ag up until the state made us quit in 74.  (I was the instructor)

My take is, that anytime you can cut out a middleman, then it is an improvement in life.
