More About This Recipe

  • Around this time of year as you get really excited to eat your Thanksgiving meal, it’s important to tide yourself over with some Thanksgiving-flavored treats. One way would be to drink some Thanksgiving dinner soda (and possibly throw up after). Another way is to work the Thanksgiving flavors into other meals. In the past I have made meatballs and ravioli that were filled with Thanksgiving flavors, and this week I took it to the next level with this Thanksgiving sausage recipe. Honestly, the flavor of these was fantastic, but the texture was a bit off. I have made a lot of sausages in my day, and haven't had this issue before, so I'm not really sure where i went wrong. I changed the final recipe a little to create a better texture. The turkey mixture would also be great as meatballs, a ravioli filling, or even formed into burger patties.
