Ingredients for Reindeer Sausage
Instructions to Make Reindeer Sausage
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground reindeer meat and pork fat. Mix well until evenly combined.
2. Season the Meat
Add kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, dried thyme, and sodium nitrite to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
3. Soak the Casings
Soak the pork casings in cold water for about 30 minutes. Rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess salt.
4. Stuff the Sausages
Using a sausage stuffer, carefully stuff the meat mixture into the soaked casings, being cautious not to overfill. Tie off the ends of the sausages with kitchen twine.
5. Cook the Sausages
Preheat a grill or smoker to medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
6. Serve
Remove the sausages from the grill or smoker, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve as desired.
