Thai Chicken And Turkey Sausage Recipes

FALCONETTI'S CHICKEN THAI SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Grind the chicken, preferably with a coarse grind. Add 1 cup water, the coconut milk, lime juice and sesame oil to the meat and incorporate. Then add the curry powder, basil, salt, garlic granules, white pepper, coriander and chili powder, and mix into the meat thoroughly. Mix just enough as not to break down the meat.
• Stuff into the hog casings, and remember to pin prick the links when done. You can grill, broil, saute, or bake...just make sure it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F. One way to enjoy is to place in a hot dog bun, add Asian slaw with some hoisin and sriracha (Thai hot sauce).
• Alternatively, instead of stuffing the meat mixture, you can saute it and use in such recipes as Asian-style lettuce wraps. Just add crispy noodles, chopped onion, hoisin sauce and enjoy!

SMOKED TURKEY, CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Add chicken to a large, Heavy Dutch oven, with one gallon of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes, save stock, de-bone and shred in bite sized pieces.
• In the large, heavy Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, shredded chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a spoon, remove any excess oil that the sausage & chicken has rendered and discard. Add the onions, celery, bell pepper, scallion white parts, garlic, jalapeno peppers and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the turkey legs, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper, hot sauce, Cajun Spice, chicken stock, and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the turkey is falling from the bones and the broth is very flavorful, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Remove the pot from the heat and remove the turkey legs. Let the Turkey legs cool! Carefully remove the meat from the bones and tear into bite size pieces. Return the meat to the Dutch oven and discard the turkey leg bones. Return the pot to the stovetop and heat over high heat until the liquid returns to a boil. Stir in the rice and green onion tops and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, undisturbed, until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and gently stir in the parsley. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, covered, before serving. Will serve 4-6 regular folks or 2-4 hungry cajuns!

GRILLED ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place sausages on the preheated grill. Grill until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, 10 to 16 minutes. Your cooking time will depend on your grill and how close the sausages are to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (73 degrees C) for well done.
• Meanwhile, heat sun-dried tomato oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the veggies, then sprinkle with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined.
• Place turkey sausages in the rolls and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture over the top.
