That is a hard balance. I think it comes down to portion control

Hey JJ, I've been thinking about trying to make some healthier sausages, aka low fat high protein. I've got two plans to try, one is using tapioca starch as a fat replacer in some turkey sausage and another idea is replacing a portion of the total fat with some olive oil. Both methods are done commercially.

Things have been pretty hectic around here lately but I hope to play around with the tapioca ones this weekend.

Portion control? HA, that was never my strong point!

Jerry said last night that he started this group. Now I would love to see the newest and best sausage recipes for sure. But for now I just keep trying to get hinks and advice from boyjko he's the master and then Dan's right up there too. I just haven't had any of Dan's sausage yet like I have Joe's.
 
These group things are so cool.... All the experts (in my book) in one location... easy to find and ask questions.... somebody here is a genius for putting this together....Just what I need to make better andouille.. I can't get the flavor profile where I want it... So....  I'm hanging around to learn... Dave

Shhhhhh you can't show everyone they all will be doing it Dan. One day I hope to be as good as out folks out there in sausage land. 
 
This will be a fascinating group.

The only way I can do it is to have sausage less frequently than I would like.

Portion control and sausage don't match up for me.

I tried making low fat and low salt sausages and just managed to ruin some pretty respectable pork butts.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
I am going to enjoy this one too. We have some amazing sausage guru's here.

I decrease the fat and add soy concentrate to many of my recipes.  The soy does not change the taste if kept under 5% by weight and will retain the moisture and juices even with a lower fat content of say 15%  .   Gov. standards for commercial sausage If I remember correctly , allows up to 30% fat.  I am still waiting for Joes Kielbasa recipe he was going to pm me cause well it is better than mine.  LOL
