Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat and Fat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey and pork fat. This will help keep the sausage moist.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, dried sage, and dried thyme. Mix well until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Binders

    Add the breadcrumbs and the egg into the meat mixture. Mix until well combined, ensuring that everything is evenly mixed.

Forming Sausage

  1. 4

    Shape the Sausage

    Divide the mixture into 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a sausage link, about 4-5 inches long.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Pan-Fry the Sausage

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage links and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 165°F (74°C).
