Mike's Spicy Italian Moose Sausage Recipe

Batch Size: 16lbs Meat		60:40 Ratio Moose to Pork

Ingredients:
8 TBSP Minced Garlic	2 tsp Anise
6 TBSP Paprika	10 TBSP Parsley
2 TBSP + 1 tsp Ground Fennell	5 TBSP Onion Powder
4 TBSP Salt	5 TBSP Basil
5 TBSP Black Pepper	2 TBSP Chili Pepper Flakes
5 tsp Cayenne
3 Cup Red Wine

These homemade Spicy Italian sausages have great flavour and just enough kick. You can make these milder by removing the cayenne pepper and cutting back on chilli pepper flakes.

Whenever I make my own spice mix for sausages I always thoroughly mix the dry ingredients on their own in a bowl.
Add the spice mixture to the ground meat along with liquid ingredients and thoroughly combine by hand in a large meat tote.
Before stuffing into casings test-fry a sample. At this point you can add more meat or more seasoning to make sure they taste the way you want them.
There is no binder in this recipe and I have no trouble with meat coming apart even when making burger patties from this mixture.
