I love sausage. I hate knowing how little nutrition is in
store-bought sausage. Can you have the best of both worlds? Of
course! Make your own. With relatively few ingredients, you can
put together sausage patties fit for breakfast, brunch, or
dinner. Or make sausage balls for inclusion in pasta or on
pizza.
Below are the basic ingredients that I would suggest you use,
but there are so many ways to tailor it to your tastes. Check
out the Optional Sausage Ingredients for some suggestions.
Quantities of each will depend on the desired intensity of your
preferred flavour. There are no rules - you'd be hard pressed to
screw this up. You can control fat content without sacrificing
flavour by substituting ground chicken or turkey for the
standard ground pork.
As with all of my recipes, have fun with this one. Play around
with the ingredients depending on the meal or occasion. Whether
you like your sausage mild or spicy, this recipe is a sure
winner.

If you like the grainy texture of whole fennel seeds, leave them
whole. If you would rather have a thorough distribution of
fennel without the texture, grind them up with a food processor,
spice mill or mortar and pestle.
