    Texan Jalapeno Sausage - Take 1

    That looks AMAZING! Copying the recipe - I want to try it with turkey, instead of pork. Thanks for sharing this!

    Smoked Turkey Andouille!

    Jennie-O - two, 3-lb packages.  I wanted to test the recipe with a small batch. Wish we had a Costco here!! They sell their own ground turkey meat and it has a courser grind.

    Smoked Turkey Andouille!

    I fooled around with Emeril's recipe a bit, less paprika, more garlic, no additional salt ..... and, of course, the turkey meat instead of pork fat..... 6 lbs ground turkey meat 1/2 cup Cajun seasoning (I use "Joe's Stuff" from New Orleans School of Cooking as it has less salt) 1 Tbsp paprika...

    LEFTOVER PP BECAME FIRST TIME MAKING TAMALES

    AWESOME! I made tamales for the first time, around the holidays, too! I used ground turkey and Hatch green chiles. They turned out pretty well. But, NOTHING can beat a good pork tamale and using left-over pulled pork is brilliant! I'll have to remember try that next time. Yeah, it's a lot...

    Lem 5# stuffer

    I'm another (very) happy LEM user.  Got mine as a Christmas gift and I started using it two days later.  Mine has the plastic tubes, but I don't care.  They work great, the stuffer works at my speed and it's easy to set up, use and clean afterward.  Also discovered I prefer the natural, hog...

    Smoked Turkey Andouille!

    I actually culled the recipe from about 3 I found online. It may still need some work.  I'm trying to find some taste-testers who know what good Andouille tastes like (I have a little experience with it, but know enough that I love the stuff)....

    Spicy Breakfast Sausage

    You're going to love that LEM sausage stuffer! I got mine (5 lb model) for Christmas and I've been using it a LOT since.  I'm also actually liking hog casings vs collagen casings (I thought it'd be the other way around).  Even though they're "edible," I just can't see myself eating that collagen...

    Smoked Turkey Andouille!

    Moisture held up pretty well.  I use an 85/15 ground turkey meat and a 1 oz water/lb when mixing (per instructions on my LEM sausage stuffer).  I thought the meat was going to be TOO moist (mushy) but, no, it worked out great in the smoker.  The flavor has a slight "chorizo" hint, so I like it fine.

    Smoked Turkey Andouille!

    Made my first ever batch of turkey Andouille sausage yesterday and took half the links and put them in my MES 40.  Smoked at 225° for 3 hours with pecan smoke and got this! Now, I understand it's not the CLASSIC Andouille with those great chunks of pork fat but, I figure, it won't send my...

    Sausage Stuffers

    I'm lovin' my LEM 5 lb vertical stuffer.  It's manual so it works at MY speed.  Just did some turkey Andouille sausage with it yesterday.  PERFECT!

    Natn'l Day of Bacon & Ribs

    Well, I did my part for National Bacon and Ribs Day (yesterday).  I did a basic rub on some pork tenderloin ribs and let them sit for 18 hrs.  Then I put them on my Char-Griller with some seasoned sweet potato slices, couple ears of corn, some nice Louisiana sausage and a jalapeno (gotta have...
