Turkey Sausage in the making

Looks great Steve. What kind of casings do you use and where do you get them ?

we use natural hog casings, there is a local meat store that sells them.

Absolutely amazing!! That makes me wanna put a sausage stuffer on my list!! How is the clean-up on that particular one that you have?

We just made 60 lbs of Korv and sweet italian 3 weeks ago and have enough meat left over to make more, gonna wait till Jan. Looks good. We have a commercial machine my parents got us for christmas 2 years ago and love it. We ran out of casings and it was a Sunday so I also have 20lbs of meatballs in the freezer.

The clean up is real easy. The "wish I should have" on the whole set up (grinder & stuffer) was I should have gotten the stainless steel instead of the plated cast iron. The set we have will rust so we have to store it in an old cooler filled with mineral oil.

I know what you are talking about so as I got lazy (and made more money) I bought one of the big LEM grinder/stuffer with the foot pedal on/off switch. It makes it a 1 man job but the kids still love to help. I also have one for the KitchenAid mixer but it would bog down when we would gring a bunch of deer.

I have thought about that from time to time. I even have a DC motor and controler in the barn, all I need to do is put a pulley on the grinder. I kind of like doing thing the old way I guess, we had 5 days off for Thanksgiving so it was a relaxing project for us.

Which one? Looks like there's everything from a $99 575 watt one all the way up to a 1.5 HP for $630.

Our electric grinder also has the stuffer piece on it but we've only make ground deer sausage and chicken sausage before so we have never used the stuffer, we bought a back of casings and seasoning one time but we werent brave enough to use the casings, they looked pretty gross. If I did try it I would want to get fresh ones from a meat store instead of something package like those were for who knows how long.
