After making the chicken feta spinach sausages last night, and still having 50 feet or more of 32-35mm hog casings from Craft Butcher Pantry, I am looking for some other tried-and-true sausage recipes to make!

Anyone care to share their top 5 most successful sausage recipes? I am adding this chicken feta spinach to my top 5 for sure, as most chicken sausages I have tasted over the years weren't half as good as these are!

Pork, chicken, beef, lamb, goat, etc. all meats are fair game in your top 5 recipes!

Thanks!

My go to and all time favorite is "Classic bratwurst" from " Charcuterie". Just a good, mild pork sausage.

Perfect, thanks Bob! All spices are in grams, correct? And water and wine (I can use both, so 100mL total?) in mL.

Here's mine.

Pork 75.00%
Beef 25.00%
salt 1.52%
pepper 0.38%
Crushed garlic 1.00%
water 3.13%
Cure #1 0.25%
Mustard seeds 0.10%

Grind with medium plate, mix, stuff. Smoke ~3 hours @ 150° or less until you like the color. Poach in 165° water until IT of 155°. Place directly into ice bath until IT of 55°.

If you want a German fresh sausage, leave out the cure and mustard seeds.

Geez, only five?! That makes it a really tough question! I deinately have more than five favourites and it's a toss up in which order. But the list would start with smoked sausages: Kiełbasa Chłopska, Kiełbasa Krakowska, Kabanosy, Turkey/Pork Sausage. In the fresh sausage category I would include a Mild Hot Italian, Polska Biala, Bratwurst, and the Chicken with Feta and Spinach. I like several dry cured sausages but the Calabrese and a simple Saucisse Seche come out on top. And every now and then I have to satisfy my craving for a good Polish headcheese, liver sausage and blood sausage, :lol:
