Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds hot or mild (or a combination) Italian turkey sausages (about 6 sausages)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large bulb fennel, trimmed, quartered and thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon fronds for garnish
1 Gala apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 pound sauerkraut, drained well
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover, and cook until the sausages are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Once cooled, slice into 2-inch pieces and reserve.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the butter and caraway seeds, stirring until the butter is melted. Add the fennel and apple; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and sausage pieces and cook, stirring, until the sauerkraut is hot, about 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fennel fronds.

HOMEMADE ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE



Homemade Italian Turkey Sausage image

Pens Joyce Haworth from Des Plaines, Illinois, "When the stores in my area stopped carrying our favorite turkey sausage, I was desperate! I went to the library for some books on sausage-making...and was surprised to learn how easy it is! We use this sweet spicy sausage on pizza, in spaghetti sauce, casseroles and breakfast patties."

ITALIAN FENNEL SAUSAGE



Italian Fennel Sausage image

Make this simple fennel-scented sausage to toss into pasta or onto pizza. Par-cook large crumbles to fold into Thanksgiving stuffing or a pot of soup. Or fry up patties and serve alongside crusty bread and a bowl of tender white beans doused generously in olive oil. Be sure to use ground pork with enough fat or you'll end up with dry, flavorless sausage. Twenty percent by weight is a good ratio, though 25 doesn't hurt. If the ground pork available to you is too lean, ask the butcher to replace two ounces or so of the lean meat with ground pork belly or bacon.

Categories     sausages, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground fennel seed
1/2 to 1 tablespoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound ground pork (20 to 25 percent fat by weight)
1 teaspoon pounded or very finely grated garlic
1 teaspoon dry white wine or vermouth
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine salt, fennel seed and red-pepper flakes. Add pork to the spice mixture along with the garlic, and wine. Using your hands, mix thoroughly for 1 full minute, until the pork begins to appear tacky and sticks to the palm of your hand.
  • Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Use a heaping tablespoon of pork mixture to make a small, thin sausage patty. Add a teaspoon or so of olive oil, and cook the patty for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Taste, and if needed, add salt or any other seasonings to the uncooked sausage mixture and mix to combine.
  • Divide and form the remaining sausage into 8 2 1/2-inch patties, placing them on the prepared baking sheet as you go. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. (Patties can be made ahead and covered and refrigerated or frozen at this point until ready to use.)
  • To cook, wipe out cast-iron pan, and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When it shimmers, add patties in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned on the surface and just cooked through.
  • Drain sausages on paper towels, and serve hot.

SPICY TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL SEEDS (LOW FAT)



Spicy Turkey Sausage With Fennel Seeds (Low Fat) image

If you like the taste of sausage, but need to cut back on fat, ground turkey breast offers a healthy substitute. A generous combination of herbs provides "sausage" flavor. I added 1/4 tsp. more salt and 2 cloves of mashed garlic. Instead of 2 egg whites I added 1 whole egg. I used 60% whole wheat bread for the fresh bread crumbs, whizzed in my food processor.. My husband thought he was eating sausage. The One-Day-at-a- Time Low-Fat Cookbook.

TURKEY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES



Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties image

I combined different spices to achieve what tastes almost as good, if not better than regular sausage. Be sure to use regular ground turkey (not ground turkey breast, which is too lean so it doesn't have enough moisture). UPDATE: After all the positive reviews, I decided to submit this to Taste of Home's Light & Tasty and they published it in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue. It's also in the Light & Tasty Annual Recipes 2008 Cookbook.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (use less pepper if you don't want a spicy taste) and blend well.
  • If time permits, refrigerate overnight to let the meat absorb the flavor of the spices.
  • Form into patties and cook as needed, freezing leftovers.
  • Don't overcook or they will dry out--remove from the heat as soon as they're no longer pink inside, but still juicy. (if you prefer a moister texture, you add a splash of olive oil or an egg to the mixture just prior to cooking).
