Anyone cook squirrel?

[foamheart]

 
I'm new to this and still learning but has anyone tried making it into a sausage? 

I would think squirrel sausage would be like crawfish balls.........

You know how many crawfish you'd have to cut to get a mouthful?

I've not tried it but as lean as squirrel is, follow a recipe for Chicken or Rabbit sausage. Or a recipe that precooks the meat like Boudin...JJ

If you get younger squirrels consider just frying them in bacon grease slowly until nicely browned.  You can do that with mature squirrels as well, they will be tougher so cook a little longer.  Squirrel is great eating; think about what they eat;  Just the best stuff in the forest.
