    Turkey sausage question.

    Recipe would be fine to see, as for pork fat that is not the way I go; usually use pork shoulder -- butt or picnic as both have enough fat content thus keeping the sausage on the leaner side but still moist. To me it works better than strait pork fat, but again that's me

    Turkey sausage question.

    When ever I make either chicken or turkey sausage I do not use the fat or the skin but will add 1/3 the turkey/chicken weight (19 / 3 = 6.25    19 + 6.25 = 25.25) as pork which to me gives a smother flavour but if pork is a no go then I would use only the fat Just my thoughts

    Your favorite cheeseburger cheese

    I use a good well aged Cheddar cheese -- my twist on this is to mix the cheese with the meat to make what I would say is a 'real' cheeseburger   and not a piece of cheese on a burger
