Homemade turkey sausage, recipe
1. Wash the turkey meat, squeeze it lightly and dry it with a paper towel. If there is any skin, remove it - it is very tough. And we will need fat from the skin - it will make the sausage more juicy, not dry. There are 2 options for preparing sausage: you can grind the meat in a meat grinder or chop it into small pieces. I used the second option.
2. Transfer the meat to a deep container.
3. Add salt, freshly ground black pepper and mix the ingredients. This dietary meat contains sodium, so it requires less salt than all other types of animal meat. For 1 kg of meat component you need 1-1.1% salt.
4. Then add drinking water and knead the juicy mixture well. Let the sausage meat soak in the spices for half an hour to an hour. For convenience, you can wrap the container with cling film and put it in the refrigerator.

They can be found in specialized stores in your city or ordered online. Well, if you already have the shells, let’s move on to the step-by-step recipe with photos.
cooking method
First you need to prepare minced meat for homemade sausages. The main ingredient of the minced meat, of course, will be turkey meat. It should be as fresh and juicy as possible. To make sausages with a rich meaty taste, it is best to add beef pulp to the minced meat. Mix ground beef and turkey together.
Peel the onions, rinse and finely chop into cubes. Also add to the minced meat and mix.
Add a little Dijon mustard to the minced meat.
Rinse the dill under cold water and dry. Then cut off the rough stems and finely chop the rest. Also add chopped greens to the minced meat for sausages.
For a spicy taste, you need to season the minced meat with spices. To do this, salt and pepper it, add ground cardamom and coriander, as well as a little nutmeg. These spices go perfectly with meat and give finished dishes a spicy taste and pleasant aroma.
Then wrap the minced meat in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about half an hour - it should sit.
Meanwhile, prepare the intestines - rinse them and dry them.
Next, transfer the minced meat into a meat grinder and, using a special attachment, stuff the intestines with minced meat, and tie the ends tightly.
If you couldn’t get the intestines, then this is not a reason to refuse homemade sausages. You need to form a sausage shape with your hands, about a couple of cm wide and no more than 15 cm long. Place the formed meat sausages in the freezer for 20 minutes, and only then start frying them. Pre-frozen they will hold their shape better.
Prepare a frying pan. Place it over medium heat and pour in some odorless vegetable oil. Then fry the homemade sausages until deliciously golden brown, turning on all sides. Serve with greens and mustard.
INGREDIENTS
Wash the fillet in cool water. Using a sharp knife, cut into small cubes. Alternatively, you can grind the fillet in a meat grinder. But I decided to use the first method.
Peel the onion and rinse it with water. Finely chop our onion on a kitchen board.
Now mix the ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and spices to taste. Add vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients and put in the refrigerator for an hour.
When the fillet is marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Take a pastry syringe with a large nozzle. And with its help we stuff the prepared intestine with minced meat. We compact and tie the ends of our sausage.
Bake in the oven for half an hour with the addition of vegetable oil. Temperature – 180 degrees. Turn over once (after 15 minutes from the start of cooking) so that both sides are baked.
I decided to serve this sausage with a ready-made side dish. I stewed the cabbage and prepared the vegetables and herbs.
I laid out the ingredients on a plate and decorated everything beautifully. It turned out delicious and aesthetically pleasing! Worth a try!

Recipe 2: Homemade Kupaty
The hardest part about preparing them is finding the guts. But you can also buy them at the market if you wish, if you ask the meat sellers. Or look for dry guts or collagen substitutes in the store. You can use absolutely any kind of meat, either one type or assorted - lamb, poultry, pork, beef.
It is better if it is with fat, this gives the finished sausages juiciness. Spices and seasonings are added to your taste; you can get by with just salt and pepper. The kupats turn out so tasty, the main thing is to have time to remove your fingers from your mouth so as not to bite them. This is a garlic-free recipe. Those who can’t imagine a sausage without garlic can, of course, add it.
Ingredients
: meat – 1 kg, 3 large onions, vinegar (9%) – 2 tbsp, spices + salt and pepper, peeled small pork intestines – 1.5-2.0 meters.
Cooking method
Grind the meat, but not in a meat grinder, but cut it into cubes about 1 cm, mix with finely chopped onion. Add salt, add vinegar, add spices, knead and leave for a couple of hours to marinate the meat. Fill the intestines with minced meat. Sausages can be made of any length, the optimal length being 15-20cm. The ends of the kupats are tied with thread and tied together.
The finished sausages are shaped like an oval or a horseshoe. Some of the kupats can be frozen for future use, and the other can be fried on both sides in a frying pan or in a preheated oven (180-200C) for about 40 minutes.
Recipe 3: Kupaty in tomato sauce with garlic
Nobody disputes that kupaty are delicious in themselves. But, firstly, sometimes you want to diversify the taste, and secondly, the kupats are a little fatty, so it wouldn’t hurt to cook them with products that neutralize excess fats. For example, stew in a spicy garlic-tomato sauce. Any side dish is suitable for this dish - rice, potatoes, pasta, buckwheat.
Ingredients
: kupaty – 0.4 kg, 2 onions, 3 tomatoes, herbs, 1 chili pepper (hot), a piece of ginger root – 5 cm, salt, 5 cloves of garlic, spices (herbs de Provence).
Cooking method
Cut 4-5 pieces of kupat crosswise into thick circles (1-1.5 cm). Prepare the vegetables: finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the ginger and tomatoes. Do not mix yet, let everything lie in separate piles.
Fry the kupats by adding a little vegetable oil. There is no need to pour a lot, the sausages are quite fatty, so they will fry well in their own fat. Temporarily transfer the browned sausages to a plate.
Saute the onion in the same oil, pour in the tomato mixture, let it simmer a little and add garlic, ginger and hot pepper. If you don’t have it, you can take ground chili pepper, about 1/4 tsp. Be sure to add salt and sprinkle with spices, preferably Provençal herbs.
Now is the time to return the kupats back, i.e. into a frying pan and let it simmer and bubble in the aromatic tomato sauce for about ten minutes. At the end add finely chopped greens. All. Eat and enjoy.
Recipe:
- If you purchased a frozen product, you will need to place it in the refrigerator overnight. 30 minutes before frying, leave at room temperature so that the sausages reach room temperature.
- Next, a little oil is poured into the frying pan, and the kupats themselves are poured with boiling water in a separate bowl and covered with a lid. Boil the sausages for 5 minutes. Next, you need to place the kupats in hot oil, after drying them with paper towels in order to form a golden brown crust.
- Fry the sausages on each side for 5 minutes. In this case, it is advisable to keep the delicacy under the lid. After this, the lid is removed and the sausages are fried for another 10 minutes. Next, you need to remove the sausages and serve with delicious tomato sauce.
- Please note that kupaty does not need to be pierced with a fork or needle before cooking, because the finished product will be very dry and tasteless.
Kupaty is often cooked not in a regular frying pan, but on the grill. Similar models are available in rectangular, square, and round shapes. They are mainly purchased by people who prefer a healthy lifestyle and seek to diversify their menu with grilled dishes. When cooking over coals is not possible, fry the kupats in a grill pan.
