Pre-Cooked Meat in Sasuages

[Twoscoops]

As my partner is vegetarian i shall have quite a bit of ham and goose left over after Christmas. While this is not a problem for me, as I'm sure I'll find plenty to do with them, does anybody know why I shouldn't use the leftover meat in sausages? Maybe a goose & bramble sausage, or ham, pea and potato..?

There is no reason why you cannot include cooked meats in sausages. I will post recipes/guidelines later as with Xmas a bit short of time at present.

hope that's ok

Any one having any left over turkey might want to consider using it up in one of these, you will obviously have to add some fat (hard back fat etc)

Turkey Sausages
Breakfast Sausage Brown sugar, salt, sage, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and parsley flakes.
Country Turkey Sausage Brown sugar, salt, coriander, and black pepper.
Hot Italian Turkey Sausage Salt, paprika, pepper, fennel, and brown sugar.
Mild Italian Turkey Sausage Brown sugar, salt, coriander, garlic, fennel seed, anise seed, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.


Turkey Breast Sausages
Garlic Lovers Turkey Breast Sausage Red wine, chopped garlic, salt, garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, caraway seed, anise seed, parsley, basil, and thyme.
Mild Italian Turkey Breast Sausage Brown sugar, salt, coriander, garlic, fennel seed, anise seed, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Breast Sausage Salt, jerk seasoning, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and green peppers.
Turkey Breast Sausage Salt, white pepper, and sugar substitute.

Just some ideas, Sorry I don't have any recipes for these I'm afraid.
