LIKE. So jealous, have never seen turkey thighs here. We have drums but too expensive to use.

Richie, I have to admit I really dig the poultry sausages you do. Very high on my list to do once I get a stuffer. Turkey weisswurst will probably be my first. My hope is the missus will eat them as she is opposed to my pork stuff.

Ok let e ask why put a cure in something thats going to be eat after its cooked? Less chemicals to me is better but if its just plain salt no biggie

Mike it just enhances the taste,gives me the ability to smoke at low temp if I want.
