Chicken Sausage ?'s

[Blaze]

I picked up several packages of boneless skinless breasts for .99 a pound and would like to try some chicken sausage.

1. Can I cure like pork and smoke a lower temps?
2. Can I substitute chicken and use the same recipe as pork?
3. Do you have a good recipe it could try?

Thanks

You can do most anything... but you WILL need to add fat. Pork or buy thighs and mix at least 50/50 WITH the skin/fat.

Quite a few are much more advanced than I in the yardbird sausage Dep't..they will be along soon I figger.

I know some have done Ken's aka Texas Hunter's recipe. Always looks darn good and need to try it. No idea about the curing part. Here is the link to Ken's

Blaze, I have made lots of "Fresh" chicken sausages, but have never made a cured & smoked chicken sausage. Rytek's book has a few poultry recipes that include the use of cure & smoking, just like in using pork. They do suggest cooking the sausages to an internal temperature of 160*.

I would think that if the proper safety issues were followed, you could substitute chicken for pork in any recipe you wanted.

Here's his Turkey Sausage Recipe (Sounds kinda bland to me)

Turkey Sausage

7 1/2 lbs. Turkey
2 1/2 lbs. fat pork butts
4 Tb. salt
2 tsp. Insta Cure No. 1
3 Tb. powdered dextrose
1 cup soy protein concentrate
4 cups ice water
