Turkey sausage recipe

A delicious alternative to a more regular pork sausage, the Turkey sausage is a healthier, leaner sausage, that has a huge amount of flavour. Great with grilled vegetables for a lower calorie dinner. Making these in sheep casings makes the meat go a longer way!

• 550 g turkey breast diced
• 90 ml rapeseed oil
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 6 sage leaves freshly chopped
• 1 pinch marjoram
• 50 g breadcrumbs fresh
• 2 meters sheep casings soaked in warm water

• Place the diced turkey in the freezer about an hour ahead of time
• Soak about 2 meters of lamb casings in warm water
• Cool the metal parts of your grinder and stuffer before use, if possible
• Remove the diced turkey from the freezer when its got a frozen crust to it
• Grind the turkey into a bowl. Keep the bowl chilled whilst you prepare the spices
• Mix all the spice mix ingredients together in a bowl
• Add all of the ingredients, including the oil to the ground turkey and mix thoroughly, then chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
• Re-grind the mixture into a chilled bowl
• Stuff into casings, taking care – lamb casings are more delicate that hog casings and will burst more easily if over stuffed
