Turkey Chicken Habanero Sausage

Here is the recipe I said I would post in Mark's habanero thread.

2 1/2 pounds of boneless turkey thighs with skin, cut into chunks
2 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken thighs with skin, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons season salt
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic ( 4 cloves fresh, pressed)
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves ( 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves minced)
1 tablespoon mint leaves (2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves minced)
2 teaspoon ground ginger ( 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced fine)
1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 habanero, seeded and pureed
1 large egg, optional
1/2 cup cald water or milk, optional

Spread the turkey and chicken meat out on sheet pans and lightly freeze.
Grind the meat with larger sausage plate.

Combine the season salt, sugar, basil, ginger, red pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl and blend well. Set aside.

Puree the habanero and set aside.

Place the ground meat in alarge bowl with the habanero, spread the habanero out as much as possible.add the egg if you are going to use it, it work as a binder. Mix and blend well. Add 1/3 of the seasoning, and water if needed to blend. Repeat the process until the spies are completely incorporated.

Run the mix through the grinder using the smaller sausage plate.

Form into patties, sticks, logs or stuff.

Now this recipe looks very tasty! I cannot wait to try it out.

Thanks for sharing, Jim.
