SAO’s ANNUAL HOLIDAY TURKEY SAUSAGE
Posted By drsao on November 10, 2012
Every year before Thanksgiving I make my annual turkey sausage. I have been making it for a LONG TIME – and it has become a family tradition. Originally I heard about this on the DINAH SHORE SHOW (on TV) but she used hamburger and fewer spices. I have added and revised this over the years and this year I made a few more modifications…..(because the truth is I don’t enjoy following directions even when they are my own. LOL!)
Sao’s Annual Holiday Turkey Sausage (made since 1964)
6 lbs ground turkey (do not use white meat)
1 T dried crushed red pepper (leave out if you do not want it HOT!) This year I used ½ T
1 T parsley
1 T cilantro
1 T curry powder
1 T chili powder
1 T garlic powder
1 T garlic salt
1 T Boston jerk
1 T mustard seed (use 1 t if you do not want it HOT!)This year I used ½ T
1 T oregano
1 T tarragon (or 1 T Thyme if you run out of tarragon. J)
1 T rosemary
1 T white pepper (fresh ground black pepper is fine) I like the FRESH BLACK PEPPER BETTER
1 T celery salt (or 1 T Steak Rub if you run out of celery salt. J)
1 T 21 season salute
1 T Ginger
1 T Onion Powder
1 T Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1 T Dill
1 T Cumin
1 T Basil
10 drops Tabasco (This year I used the green because it is milder than the red.)
2 T liquid smoke
2 T teriyaki
2 T soy
2 T worchestershire
2 T Italian dressing
2 T barbecue sauce
Mix all of the dry ingredients together
Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the ground turkey (mixing frequently)
Mix all of the liquid ingredients together
Pour in the liquid ingredients and mix thoroughly
Roll into small logs
250 degree oven
Turn and drain every 30 minutes
Takes about 3 hours
It has been in the oven almost an hour now and the whole house smells yummy!
