Introduction

11/2016 I want to try making up my own Ital turkey sausage, primarily b/c it is so expensive in the store. Also, I am getting into making sausage in general - in order to reduce sodium.

This came out well. Tasted a little hot when made, but when put in a recipe - like Spicy Sausage and Cheddar Stuffing, Low Carb or Egg Muffins (Kayln) -- See Spark recipes for both -- it was good.
"My family's version. Great for any recipe that calls for Italian sausage."
I don't really know for sure about individual servings b/c I am only using in recipes that require a certain amount of pounds. 11/2016 I want to try making up my own Ital turkey sausage, primarily b/c it is so expensive in the store.

    1 tsp garlic powder
    1⁄8 tsp ground cloves

Tips

" 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. "-

Original:

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


Directions

Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Shape [into patties, links??] - see TIPS remarks by contributor, 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.
