Homemade sausages - recipes on how to make your own sausages at home
Sausages
Sausages are considered to be a dish that does not bring any benefit, harmful fast food. A similar statement is considered fair in relation to industrially produced store-bought sausage products. Meanwhile, with your own hands it is not difficult to prepare exclusively natural homemade sausages, which you can feed even a child without fear.
Recipe 1: Homemade chicken sausages (step-by-step photos)
Homemade sausages are a healthy and tasty alternative to store-bought ones. These sausages can be made from chicken or turkey fillet. Use cling film as a shell. If you wish, you can add shelled pistachios, champignons, sweet peppers or herbs to the sausages, and replace the milk with cream. If you are preparing sausages for small children, then exclude garlic and ground black pepper from the recipe. Sausages can be prepared for future use - just freeze them.
- Chicken breast fillet - 1 kg;
- Milk 3.5% - 150 ml;
- Large egg - 1 piece;
- Butter - 50 grams;
- Medium onion - 1 piece;
- Garlic - 1-2 cloves;
- Salt, ground black pepper.
Wash the chicken fillet, dry it and cut into pieces.
Mince the chicken fillet, peeled onion and garlic twice.
Add softened butter, warm milk, egg, salt and spices to the minced chicken.
Mix thoroughly.
Spread cling film on the table. Place 2 tablespoons of minced meat on the edge of the film. Form a sausage by wrapping the minced meat tightly in 2-3 layers of film. Cut off excess film. Tie one end of the film with a strong knot.
Tie the other end of the film into a knot, making sure that there is no air left inside the film with minced meat.
Sausages can be made in different sizes. Children will love the little sausages.
Place the sausages in boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.
Place the finished sausages in a colander and let the water drain. Remove the film. Be careful not to burn your fingers - there may be hot air inside the film.
From this amount of ingredients I get about 20 medium-sized sausages. If you make baby sausages for children, you will get twice as many of them.
Serve the chicken sausages hot.
As a side dish for homemade chicken sausages, serve porridge from any cereal, pasta, boiled or fresh vegetables, and herbs.
How much meat is in a factory product according to GOST
Should you buy semi-finished products in supermarkets? According to GOST standards, sausages must contain at least 50% meat.
In reality, budget-priced store-bought cooked meat products include 10 to 15% animal proteins. The most inexpensive sausages may not contain any natural meat at all. It is being replaced by synthetic plant analogues from soybeans and other legumes.
Even if the packaging says “soy-free,” “non-GMO” does not mean that, for example, the sausage does not contain added starch, pea flour or other substitutes.
Therefore, we will take over the functions of the food industry and prepare sausages on our own.

- Chicken breast - 1 piece
- Chicken egg - 1 pc.

Wash the chicken breast, remove the skin and remove the bones. Prepare minced meat from the cleaned fillet and add an egg to it.
To the minced meat add finely grated carrots, finely chopped onion and garlic.
Then add salt, pepper and spices to your taste. I use this chicken seasoning mix.
Dilute the resulting mixture with milk (or water) and mix thoroughly.
The next stage is preparing the sausages; for this you need to spread cling film and carefully place the minced meat on it. The more minced meat you put in, the thicker the sausage will be; I usually put out a couple of spoons.
We roll the film with minced meat into a tube several times.
We cut the film and fold the edges like a candy wrapper, you can tie it in a knot or tie it with thread.
These are the sausages you should get, from this amount of ingredients I got 12 small sausages.
The next step is to lower the finished sausages into boiling water and cook for 20 minutes.

Carefully but gently press the film against the minced meat, this will avoid the appearance of air bubbles. They, of course, will not spoil the taste of the finished product, but the appearance will suffer.
