I wanted to try something different with some of this years turkey so I checked my seasoning mixes & found a packet of Backwoods Fresh Breakfast Sausage Seasoning. I thought: “What the heck. I’ll take it to The Roost this fall. The guys at The Roost will eat anything.” ROTFLMOHAO!!!! I spread the process over 2 days as I like to have the meat partial frozen, especially for grinding, as it makes the grind easier. I finished up this afternoon (Sunday) & cooked up a couple of sausages plus a patty made from what was left inside the grinder/stuffer tube. It was really good with just a little mild spiciness. The only issue is that the bulk is very sticky & hard to work with. Maybe after freezing/thawing, it will be more pliable
In order to avoid a lot of questions, I’ll explain the 3 additional ingredients.
1. Encapsulated Citric Acid: Citrus acid with a hydrogenated cotton seed oil coating. The coating keeps the citric acid from releasing during mixing & stuffing. It prolongs shelf life by lowering the PH of the sausage. There is a slight tangy flavor that is covered up by using the Trehalose.
2. Trehalose: Helps to take the “wild” taste out of meat as well as eliminating “freezer flavor” & is a natural sweetener & antioxidant.
3. Lem Cure: Can be used in making sausage, jerky, bacon or ham. It helps to reduce the risk of botulism in meat, slightly aids the preservation of meat, & enhances the flavor of the finished product
INGREDIENTS
• Turkey – 80%
• Pork – 20%
• Seasonings
• Water
DIRECTIONS
1. Trim all fat & white skin from the pork & turkey & cut into grinder-sized pieces.
2. Grind the pork & turkey once with the medium grinder plate once.
3. Mix the seasonings in the appropriate amount of water as noted on the packet.
4. Mix the meats & seasonings thoroughly.
5. Stuff the edible collagen casings and/or the bulk tubes.
6. Cook & ENJOY!!!!

Re: Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage
More than I planned, the breast from a jake & a gobbler. I wish they packaged the seasoning in 5 lbs. packets. I could have split the seasonings but the results never seem to be as good as doing it all at once.pullit wrote:looks good, how many turkey's did you use to make that much sausage?
I'm pressure cooking the legs & thighs now for some pulled turkey.

Re: Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Re: Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Probably would. I'm going to mix it in with a bunch of eggs, chopped bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, & cheese. The fall crew at The Roost will have a good breakfast.WoodMoose wrote:bet that bulk would work well in a tomato sauce (spaghetti, marinara, etc) and served with Spaghetti squash!!

I just can't do that George to a turkey breast. Too valuable. It's gotta be fried. It does look good though.

Re: Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Thanks for sharing. The quickest way to make eggs better, is to snuggle them up with some sausage.

I like steak and eggs for breakfast this time of year, nothing beats White Tail Fawn Backstraps and a couple of fresh fried wild turkey eggs.
