Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or turkey with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, cumin, and oregano. Mix well until all spices are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add the red wine vinegar and olive oil to the meat mixture. Use your hands to mix everything together thoroughly. Ensure the mixture is well combined and flavorful.

  3. 3

    Chilling the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

    Cooking the Sausage

    When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium heat. Form the sausage mixture into patties or crumbles, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.
