Description

The perfect sausage for a Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches


Notes

2023-11-12

  • Didn’t salt ahead of time (although I think this is always how its been done)
  • Be sure to actually weigh the turkey meat out before scaling the recipe as I didn’t and then realized that it was bone in and I would need to subtract out weight

  • Seemed too wet while mixing, need to taste and see though
    • after tasting: really nice texture
  • Probably wouldn’t bother with the skin again as it was a pain while grinding
  • Anjali says too much pork flavor

Ingredients

Per 1kg Meat (includes fat)

  • Lean Meat - 600g
  • Skin + Pork - 200g
  • Pork fat - 200g
  • Salt - 18g (Accidentally did 22.43 due to bad math, oops)
  • Garlic paste - 3g
  • Ginger paste - 3g
  • Lemongrass - 3g
  • Cilantro (fresh) - 30g
  • Thai Basil (fresh) - 10g
  • White Pepper - 2g
  • Fish sauce - 30g (Did 20g to offset for accidental oversalt)
  • White wine - 70g (Did 80g to get right liquid level given fish sauce reduction due to accidental oversalt)

Method

  1. Salt overnight if possible
  2. Make paste from garlic, ginger, basil, lemongrass, and cilantro
  3. Grind fat with smallest plate
  4. Partially re-freeze fat and grind again (don’t use smallest plate this time, its too small)
  5. Grind turkey + pork with 3/16 (4.5mm)
  6. Mix with ingredients
