"This makes about 4 pounds of sausage, I use my sausage maker attachment on my extra heavy-duty large Kitchen Aid Mixer to make the links, I also freeze some of the bulk sausage meat, you can form into patties to enjoy for breakfast or lunch or throw them on the grill or you can add some of the mixture to ground beef for out of this world burgers! Visit your local butcher for sausage casings or get them online. Once you make these you probably will not ever use your old recipe again! One day refrigeration time is needed for the mixture. Although I have not tried it, I think this may also work with ground turkey"
