Added spices and stuffed into 19 mm collagen cases
linking into individual stix
into the smoker
all done

Slim Jims
8 lbs.turkey 2 lbs. beef fat
5 Tbs. salt
2 tsp. cure
1 Tbs. white pepper, ground
1 Tbs. nutmeg
1 Tbs. celery seed, ground
1 Tbs. curry powder
1 1/2 Tbs. black pepper, ground
1 1/2 Tbs. garlic granules
2 Tbs. liquid smoke
1 cup milk powder
1 cup ice water
Grind meat through fine plate, mix with spices well. Stuff into 19 mm. collagen casings, tie into 8" links. Put in smoker( no smoke) to dry at 130 F for an hour, continue to smoke at 150 F for 3 hrs with heavy smoke, and slowly increase smoker temp to 175 F and smoke until internal temp of 152. Let cool in smoker.

yes I bought new stuff to play with while in Fl. I just couldn't go 5 months without making some sausage.Maz wrote:Hi Big Guy,
Those look good pity we do not get much turkey here would like to give them a try.Did you buy some new kit or is it just to use while you are in Florida?
Last weekend I went to a pot luck supper and took a meat tray of my various sausages. People jumped the line and it was all gone before dinner was started. LOL
I need to make it down here as it seems to go fast. LOL

That looks and SOUNDS great!
The wife is on a diet, so that means I am as well, which means this would be something I could make that would get her seal of approval!
Lately if I'm not making sausage for someone else I really don't get to have any of the good stuff!
I may try this on Saturday!
Thanks for the recipe and I'll post pics if I get to do it!
Now, about homemade sausage not lasting long with folks. It's truly amazing to me just how many people have never had sausage(s) that were real and didn't have all of the other BS in them.

Charlie, if you think that's true with fresh and smoke-cooked sausage, just wait until you start making "Dry-Cured" (fermented) type sausages! Wow. Most Americans have never tasted true European salamis or pepperonis. What a shame, because it is truly amazing stuff! Not at all like you see in the local grocery. Now, using Bactoferm, a home hobbyist may effectively and safely make his or her own VERY authentic fermented sausages. It's so easy, my lawyer could do it!It's truly amazing to me just how many people have never had sausage(s) that were real and didn't have all of the other BS in them.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
