When it comes to sausage, you have all the answers! Why didn't I think of that? Now I guess I have to buy a grinder a stuffer and get to work on that curing fridge since you put a healthy way of doing it idea in my head, Thanks!

Thanks Martin. I dreaded making any type of sausage (don't know why) but now that I have started I really enjoy it.

Thanks Dave. These are venison, so they might be a bit healthier 

, but you could try with turkey.
