HOMEMADE SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE (MILD OR HOT)



Homemade Sweet Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot) image

This is a very versatile Italian sausage which can be used in many different ways. You can take it from mild to hot and it's very easy to use. There are also different options for type of meat to use, like ground chuck or ground turkey (do not use ground beef). If using ground turkey, you'll have to coat your skillet with a little olive or veggie oil before cooking as it has very little fat and will stick to skillet.

SWEET ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE



Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage image

My family's version. Great for any recipe that calls for Italian sausage. I have had some luck shaping into sausages and *carefully* browning them on all sides, covering the skillet with a lid, and cooking over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.

Categories     Poultry

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground turkey
2 teaspoons dried sweet basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients an mix thoroughly.
  • Shape into patties, links, or crumble into skillet and brown over medium heat.
  • Mixture may be made in advance up to 36 hours and let sit in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors, or can be shaped and frozen until ready to use (do not re-freeze previously frozen ground turkey). Thaw in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible results.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooking will make the sausage dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: This will give the sausage a complex and delicious flavor. Some good options include garlic, fennel seeds, oregano, and basil.
  • Let the sausage rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful sausage.
  • Serve the sausage with your favorite sides: Some good options include pasta, rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Sweet Italian turkey sausage is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great source of protein and flavor, and it is also relatively easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
