Sausage troubleshooting (mealy texture)

[danxtptrnrth]

Hello,
Question on troubleshooting. I am making a Hawaiian-style Portuguese sausage and each batch is coming out mealy in texture. I am keeping everything extremely cold. What could be causing this? Dull grinder blade? Improper mixing?
Can't seem to figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. Mixing to a strong possibility but other things can create this result as well. We'll need some more details about your process and recipe.

wellcome.Probably mixing you need to get to the same sort of consistancy as store bought sausages.Tho asNCPaul said its better if we have the recipe.

if i remember right this hawaiian portugese style sausage has a lot of fat in it. It's possible you have some fat smearing even though you keep everything cold.

What are you using to stuff the sausage?
