Rounded up the rest of the goose we had in the freezer last night and made some sausage. Ended up with 15lbs of breakfast sausage and 9 lbs of regular stuff (just left out the maple syrup). My first attempt at making anything other than venison burger with the grinder. I made a small batch at first just to taste test and my wife said the breakfast version tasted very similar to the Jimmy Dean hot sausage with a little sweetness to it. I followed the following recipe, but left out the rendered bacon fat and the MSG and only used about 3/4tsp Sage per lb. I tried twice at Cash Wise in Stanley to get some fat trimmings, but they didn't have any both time. So I ended up with 30$ worth of pork butt and shoulder. Worked out pretty good, this stuff is awesome! Just have to vacuum seal some 1/2 and 1lb packages tonight.
Found the recipe on a different forum with a simple google search....the notes are the original authors.
