Homemade Smoked Sausage Recipe Ingredients

Steps:

• Mix and blend all ingredients using your fingers. Shape into 2-inch patties. Fry until crisp and brown on both sides.

Steps:

• Prepare the smoker. In a large mixing bowl, add the turkey. In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together. Mix well. Toss the turkey with the seasoning blend and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Grind the meat twice in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/2-inch die. A food processor could also be used to grind the meat. Stuff half of the mixture into 1 1/2-inch casings, forming 6-inch links. Form the remaining into 3 (1/2 pound) patties. You can either use the sausage fresh or smoke the sausage. For the smoked sausage: Place the sausage in the smoker and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Smash celery into juicy bits using a mortar and pestle. Combine with ground beef in a large bowl. Add garlic powder, paprika, mustard seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, curing salt, and sugar. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer meat onto a large piece of parchment paper. Use damp hands to shape into a 3- to 4-inch-thick log. Roll up in the parchment paper, compressing it as much as possible. Twist ends tightly to seal. Place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Cut ends off the parchment paper and unwrap meat. Mix liquid smoke with water and generously brush over the meat. Roll meat back up in the paper, then again in aluminum foil, sealing it tightly and twisting the ends in opposite directions.
• Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and place the sealed meat on top. Poke 5 or 6 holes across the bottom for excess moisture to drip out.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) and no higher, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Let sausage cool in the pan until room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Give ends a tighter twist, then refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Unwrap sausage and slice in half. Coat outsides with freshly ground black pepper, place on a plate lined with crinkled foil, and let dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Steps:

• Dice onion and the garlic. Heat a pan with some of the Olive Oil (roughly 1tbs). Add the onion, peppers and 1 tsp each of Italian herbs mix through. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion is soft and slightly translucent. Add the garlic and stir through, cook for a further 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile slice the Smoked Sausage. Add to the mixture and stir through, cook for 5 minutes. Add the 400g tin of chopped tomato and stir through. Add a good squeeze of tomato puree and 1tsp sugar. Mix through. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Taking care not to let the mixture dry out, stir occasionally to make sure its not sticking to the bottom of the pan and add spoonfuls of water if needed.
• While the sauce is cooking, measure out 75g per person of pasta (penne, fusilli, rigatoni, etc). Bring a pan of water to the boil (with a tsp of salt) and add the pasta and cook as per the packet instructions.
• Serve the pasta with the sauce over the top and grate some parmasan over it. Can serve with garlic bread or salad.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Chill overnight.
• Stuff into casings tying off at 5 inches.
• Hang for 1 to 2 days in cool place (45°F).

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together in a spice grinder or mini-food processor (or you may also just stir together if you like some chunkier bits of fennel in your sausage).
• Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• To use, mix with 1 pound ground meat.
• Chill seasoned meat 3 hours before using.
• Or you may also use this in any recipe calling for sausage seasoning.
