Dove sausage/Morel stuffed Canadian Bacon

[cowgirl]

Not sure if there are many dove hunters here, but the sausage recipe is pretty tasty... (taken from my blog)


2.5lbs Dove Meat
4.5lbs Pork Steak
2 tsp. Ground Coriander
4 tsp. Ground Cumin
2 TBS. Ground Black Pepper
4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2 TBS. Onion Powder
2 TBS Garlic Powder
7 tsp. Tender Quick
1 Cup Ice Cold Beer

Grind meat and set in frig. Mix all dry ingredients in beer and whisk till carbonation is gone. Set in frig for 1 hour whisking every 10 minutes...
Mix meat with beer marinade and put into casings... Make links hand wide about 5 - 6".. Set in frig for the night to cure..Next day smoke till internal temp 155-160*. Cool in cold water bath until temp drops to 100-105* then let dry and bloom at room temp for 2-3 hours. Wrap and freeze..
The things I would change for myself is grind using a 3/16" plate in lieu of the 1/8" (I would like it a bit more coarse). Back the Coriander down to 1 tsp. Cumin down to 3 tsp. Bump up the Onion and Garlic powder to 3 TBS.






I made my canadian bacon... butterflied a pork loin.

1 TBS Mortons tender quick and 1 teaspoon sugar PER pound of meat for the cure...

Thank you!
You can roll the dove sausage into a log before smoking (not what you think. lol ) Then serve it sliced on crackers. It's a good snack.
