Red,
Very nice looking sausage Red, if I could get the raw materials, I'd have a try ! How do you score 30kg of duck breast ?

[CAN] Canada Goose Sausage
Hi Gus, I got the goose breasts from my brother in law and nephews who like to hunt but not eat the stuff. And I also did get several kg of duck breasts that I will have to do something with.snagman wrote:Red,

Again this year I got a whole pile of goose breasts. Not crazy about the stuff since it does have a swampy smell and taste. But it's still nice lean meat and I don't like to waste, so yesterday I made a spicy sausage using 30% goose and 70% pork. Turned out quite tasty, no gamey flavour at all. The reddish spots in there are red pepper flakes. The only thing that I erred in was that I added too much wine (instead of water) and that affected the texture somewhat. I'm getting to know and understand my Pro100 Cabela's smoker, so that part went smoothly.

Nicely done Red! It looks amazing. You may wish to try "spraying" the wine into the meat mixture as you mix it to develop the proteins. Use a spritzer and don't go overboard on the wine and it should work for you. There's all sorts of scientific reasons for the proteins breaking down. Suffice it to say here, too much alcohol will keep the meat from binding.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
Thanks Jeff and CW. Not sure what the fat percentage is but probably no more than 25%. It was a matter of overkill with the wine. It was my home made plonk (I'm always generous with it) and I added a cup if not more, to a 5kg batch. The intent was to tone down the gamey flavour, and that's why the paprika, chilies, juniper berries and buttermilk powder. All of these ingredients are used in various recipes to tame that swampy taste of those honkers.
