Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 250 grams lean ground pork
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 package natural hog casings
Instructions
Rinse the natural hog casings thoroughly in cold water to remove any salt. Soak them in fresh water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sausage mix.
In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey and lean ground pork together, mixing well with clean hands or a sturdy spoon.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the meat mixture.
Sprinkle paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and sea salt over the meat.
Pour in red wine vinegar and olive oil, mixing until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and mix lightly to incorporate.
Rinse the hog casings once more and fit one end over a sausage stuffer or funnel, allowing any excess water to escape.
Fill the funnel with the meat mixture and gradually feed it into the casings, twisting into links of your desired length as you go.
Prick any air bubbles with a sterilized needle to allow steam to escape while cooking.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely browned, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite accompaniments.
