Hi All,

If I wanted to turn ground turkey into Turkey Sausage,
what spices would I use?

This recipe look easy. Any better ones?
http://www.food.com/recipe/turkey-breakfast-sausage-patties-100408

and this one

http://www.theyummylife.com/turkey_breakfast_sausage#EmbedRecipe_209

It uses apple sauce. Hmmmm.

And, of course, drop the coriander due to allergies.

Many thanks,
-T

Penzy(or Penzey-not sure which spelling), has a breakfast sausage spice
mix. I have not tried it, but they are a good spice company, if not
especially cheap. They are on line so yu might explore that. I don't
know if they use coriander, but they alwasy list the spices in a mix so
you can check.

In ay even their website can be fun to explore.

I have used their breakfast sausage seasoning, it is quite good with
ground pork. It isn't hot at all, if you like heat it wouldn't be a good
choice.

I have used a mix of red pepper flakes, sage, salt and pepper for
breakfast sausage.

Lol!

I have always thought sausages with sweeteners were weird: apple,
maple, raspberry, etc.. Nice once, but never a second time.

Oh, changing the subject a little, I picked up some of that
Bragg apple cider vinegar (with the mother!). What a great
tip. It is the only vinegar I use anymore. And, you were right
about it working on indigestion -- who would have thought!
Thank you!

Can't hurt, but might give it a bit of an Italian flavor. If you like it,
fine,if ot don't use it the next time.

Hi All,

Tried it with a little oregano, mainly to sanitize any remaining
bacteria on me freshly washed hands when I mixed the spices into
the turkey meat (a real chore). Used a little too much pepper.
And, I should have used more butter in the pan to offset the low
fat content of the ground turkey. I think it might have taken a
bit more fennel and maybe added a bit of rosemary. I let it
set for 2-1/2 days before cooking it up. Used 3 lbs of TJ's
cage free ground turkey.

Other than that, both of us loved it. Needed eggs over easy
to complete the circle.

Thank you all for the tips and suggestions!

Update:

I had to cut back on the black pepper to about a
teaspoon.

I substituted Ancho pepper for Cayenne pepper --
more flavor, less heat.

I also added some Rosemary. And I cut back on the fennel
seeds -- helps with the weird burps.

Well glad you like it. I just drink it out of the bottle sometimes..lol.
One thing I noticed..its a bit stout for making chow chow and other
pickled type stuff. I cut it half and half with either regular old apple
cider vinegar or even white vinegar for chores like that. Seems to give
a better finished product and do not come out as cloudy.

Hi Wendy,

He is teasing. And pretty funny at that. (Baby food
is kind of gross.)

Make sure the diabetic neuropathy does cause
your funny bone to fall off. Life is too miserable
without a funny bone.

And, me? I never have to explain my jokes. Never!
Never I tell you! Not once that I can ever think of!
(Okay, all the time. You get use to it.)

unsweetened applesauce: 28 carbs per cups
http://www.nutrientfacts.com/FoodPages/carbs/carbs_Applesauce.htm

I can have about 1/4 cup. (15 carbs max per meal; 60 per day.)

A friend has an apple tree. She give us golf ball sized
apples (she has huge ones too). They are so good. Hard
to hold on to though. I wind up eating a lot of seeds.

Oh ya, and I drizzled a little EVOO on it after
I spread in out in the pan. Helps with the
low fat nature of ground turkey.

Wow..thanks for the inspiration on that. I have two apple trees in the
back yard. Mostly I make wine and a few cobblers. I will put applesauce
on the to do list. I did not know folks really liked to eat it. How much
do it cost for the apple smusher gizmo? Or can you just beat it with a
board? That is how I do for wine. Let me know.

Dang..glad somebody axed about that..lol. Its a Southern and Texas type
spicy sweet relish. Normally served with pinto beans..fried
tates..cornbread and other red neck soul food. Base usually composed of
either cabbage and or green tomaters. I do cabbage since it easier to
find. This is my favorite recipe with a few tweaks like adding some
japalino peppers and cayenne to give it some pizzaz. My friends Mama
wins the chow chow contest at the State Fair nearly each year. I am
still trying to pry that recipe outta his tight coola. In the meantime
try this. Sub out some food grade glycerine for the sugar since dont you
have some food issues with sugar? Glycerine do not effect that.

Hi Wendy,

Is the lemon juice to keep the apple sauce from turning
brown, to add a flavor component, or both? Inquiring
minds must know!

Hi Bigwheel,

Do you can yours?

I would probably use Stevia as a sweeter. Ya, I know
it tastes like gasoline, but I am use to it.

This is possible over my head. I burn butter and eggplant.
Very interesting though. Someday I will get good enough.
Never quit. Thank you!

Just out of curiosity, if your front porch were to collapse,
how many dogs would die?

Just a little wter in the bottom of the pot to get everything started then cook on

Oh I know I keep carrying on about this.

I just discovered Trader Joe's has two kinds of ground
turkey. One from breast meat at $4.99/lb and one
from other parts at $2.99/lb. I had used the
expensive one without realizing it.

Since I find the expensive one unpalatability dry,
I have switch to the less expensive one. Will
try without drizzling EVOO over it.

The dark meat turkey should ot be anywhere near as dry as the white meat was. I use the
darkmeat groundfor meatloaves, etc adn it works well with good seasoning.

Hi Wendy,

The white meat makes me gag. I might as well eat straight butter!
Oh speaking of white meat, Pascha (Orthodox Easter) is around the
corner (May 5th) and I cook turkey breast cutlets for it. So
I will post under a new thread.

Thank you for all the help and tips. You guys are a blessing!

Hi Wendy,

Have you tried "Ceylon" or "True" cinnamon. It has a sweeter,
less bitter taste. And, for those of us (T2's) that use "a lot"
of cinnamon, it has far less of the ingredient that hurts your
liver (regular cinnamon only causes harm in very, very large doses).

Ceylon is my favorite cinnamon.

but I don't know much aboaut how well that works either. I use them for
flavoring , not medicine.

Hi Wendy,

"Cassia" is regular cinnamon in the reference below. You
really, really have to use a lot of it to be a problem.
The Cinnulin extract that is popular for BG is cassia,
but it is water extracted, which leaves the bad stuff behind.

Due to the presence of a moderately toxic component
called coumarin, European health agencies have recently
warned against consuming large amounts of cassia.[26]
This is contained in much lower dosages in Cinnamomum
burmannii due to its low essential oil content.[citation

in high concentrations. Measurements of coumarin in
ceylon cinnamon are much lower than those in cassia.[27][28]
