So I wanted to make some seasonal snackstix for the christmas food boxes and came up with this recipe.
You will need:
5 lb of turkey thigh/leg meat.
I used a turkey leg and a couple of packets of turkey mince.
Grind the turkey through a medium/coarse plate
Spice mix - grind together as fine as you can
48 gms salt (inc cure if you're curing) - 1.7oz
1 tsp smoked paprika
1.5 tsp smoked peppercorns
1/2 nutmeg (or 1 tsp pre-ground)
2 heaped tsp sage
1.5 tsp garlic powder
2tsp brown sugar
Other stuff you'll need
1/2 bottle kastel cru - or a decent mexican beer
200g dried cranberries - 7-8 oz
12 tsp dried onion flakes
handful (1/3 cup) oats
Dead easy.
Grind turkey through medium/coarse grid.
Mix spices with the beer.
I started with the pre-ground stuff and mixed all the spices and other ingredients into it before adding the leg meat. Made the whole mixing in spice deal much easier.
Mix spice with beer and mix into turkey. add onion flakes and cranberries and oats and mix in. I then addeed the rest of the turkey and mixed again.
Now my test of a perfectly balanced sausage mix is to microwave a lump. If tcooks and doesn't release any liquid but is still moist and succulent, that's the mutts nuts !
perfect
This is the sign of asausage meat that will work for every kind of sausage: fresh, stix, summer etc.
It also tastes EXACTLY like I wanted it to. Just like a slice of turkey with sage and onion stuffing and a dash of cranberry sauce on the fork as well.
So you may be asking yourself what the hell is kastel cru ?
Damn stuff tastes like a cross between a great clean lager and a really nice champagne. It's my new favourite tipple
