Don’t you hate it when you have leftover bits and pieces of
food items? It generally happens with chocolate chips and nuts in my home but I
managed to end up with a small amount of cranberries in my freezer. I happened
to find some ground turkey and ground pork in there also so the idea came to me
about making sausage. It turned out really well and the cranberries added a
nice flavor and color. I cooked the cranberries ahead of time since I was
making patties. I didn’t think the cranberries would have enough cooking time
to soften if I just chopped them in the food processor.
Cranberry Turkey Sausage
¾ cup cranberries, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp water
Cook the berries until they pop and then let them cool down
completely
1# ground turkey
½# ground pork
cooled cranberries
1 tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp rubbed sage
¼ tsp garlic powder
Completely mix together all of the ingredients so the
spices are distributed evenly. I
recommend frying a small piece in a pan to make sure your spice level is to your
liking. Cook all the pieces taking care not to overcrowd your pan. Drain on
paper towels before serving.
