Turkey Andouille Sausage No Casing image

There's no andouille sausage available in my area nor do I want to get involved with sausage casings. Plus I wanted to use ground turkey, not pork. So I basically combined a sausage recipe with a poultry meatball recipe. If the measurements seem odd, it's because I scaled them. I haven't made this recipe yet - I was just entering it here for ease of reference but hopefully it will come out okay.

Time 35m

Yield 20 meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/3 lbs ground turkey
1 large egg yolk
5 1/4 ounces buttermilk
2 1/2 pieces white bread, crusts removed
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, heaping
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, heaping
1/4 teaspoon chili powder, heaping
1 pinch mace
1 pinch allspice
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, scant
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch bay leaf powder
1 pinch sage
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1/3 cup cold red wine

Steps:

  • Combine bread and buttermilk in small bowl, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes then combine with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Form into balls (don't overcompact). Brown on all sides in a medium-high skillet - oil sizzling but not smoking - about 10 minutes. If adding to sauce, undercook slightly then, pour off oil but leave brown bits in pan, build sauce, and add back for last 15-30 minutes of simmering.
