Mixed up a batch today with some store-bought ground turkey just to try out the recipe.

"BAM!!" That's good stuff right there.... I don't care who you are!! 

Can't wait to start saving the legs starting this Spring for some REAL "Strutter Sausage!"

Thanks again, John...

my previously vegetarian wife and all three kids would agree. Is a combo of 3 recipes I had. The links are a little dry so I'd put more bacon in if making links. It's perfect as is for patties. Glad you tried it!

Opening up an old thread.  I pulled out my spring thighs and I plan to make this recipe tomorrow.  I'm really excited to try it out.  I'm a bit of sugar junky to point of even adding a tbls of brown sugar to a lbs of burger when making patties for the grill.  Would this be okay with this recipe?  Again really excited to try something new.  If I get no response I will give it a go and let you know.

I think you would be fine doing that. Or maybe try some dark karo syrup or kings syrup. I do that with my deer salami.

Recipe update:  if you're going to stuff the sausage and freeze it needs more bacon. If your going to make a small batch and eat fresh it's perfect. If your going to freeze patties I would add extra bacon and a bit more salt. Good luck!

Turned out well.

Great, how much sugar and fat did you end up using per lb of thigh? 

[chadly]

I had 4.4 lbs of leg and thigh meat.  I added 2lbs of bacon just because you cant have too much bacon.  However, it did not need that much bacon.  I added 3 tbl spoons of brown sugar.  One observation I noticed while digging out all the spices was there are different forms of the spice.  Coarse ground , not ground ,and fine.  If the recipe wanted coarse and I used fine then I would be putting in more of that spice.  I think that happened because it has to much something but I'm not sure of what. Either way I used the patty press and have 28 patties in the freezer.  We ate four as they came out of grinder straight to the pan.  They were excellent.   I know many people who toss the legs and thighs.  I'm going ask them to save for me.  The grinder makes everything tender.

You're totally right!

Figure out what was too much and let me know. Nothing better than a recipe work in progress.

1lb turkey leg meat
2  sage (rubbed)
3/4 tsp table salt
1 tsp fine ground black pepper
1 tsp dried whole thyme
1/4 tsp dried whole marjoram
1 tsp whole fennel seeds
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp ground cayenne
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground allspice
5 slices bacon (not thick cut)
