Homemade Smoked Turkey Sausage

[captnemo]

Just started dabling with homemade sausage.

Parent raise free range turkeys so they dropped off a couple pounds of ground turkey off one they had just killed.

No fat additives needed like with venison, just garlic, salt/pepper, chilli powder and some hot sauce. Used a little "pink salt" and cured them over night. Used my jerkey gun to stuff the natural hog casings, then smoked them for about 5 hours.



I'll be messing around a lot more with home sausage making in the near future,

Sausages look great - what is "pink salt"

You need a bigger shed - It looks like mine.

I think the official name is potassium nitrate, its a special salt used for curing meat, its what is added to a brine to make corned beef that makes the whole meat pink, its a preservative. You can find it at any sausage making website, or Basspro sells it as game cure.
