Neither one of us care for light turkey meat, so for xmas and thanksgiving I cut the breasts out and just cooked the legs/thighs/wings. So we were stuck with these breasts in the freezer. I had an epiphany, sausage. I had a pound or so of pork shoulder left over from carnitas a while back. I added some paprika, anise, salt, pepper, and ground dried chiles to a cup of merlot, then ground 4:1 turkey to pork (roughly 5 lbs), about 5 chiles,and half a head of garlic. mixed it all up and it was great. Had some over angelhair with a pesto, made breakfast sandwiches with it, but I've also just been snacking on it. I wouldn't mind finding some casings and smoking a bit too. Any ideas for the other turkey breast?
