Homemade turkey sausages

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of diced turkey meat
• 1/2 cup chopped garlic
• 6 tsp chili powder
• 4 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Additionally: smoking chips

Preparation:

1. Place the turkey in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the seasoning mixture to the turkey. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. Grind the meat twice in a meat grinder. You can also use a food processor for this. Stuff half of the mixture into sausage casings to form 15-cm strands. Form the remaining meat into three patties, each weighing 250 grams. You can make the sausages pre-cooked and freeze them, or serve them smoked immediately.
3. Light the grill and add damp wood chips to the drip tray. Place the sausages on the grate, close the grill, and smoke for 10–15 minutes.
