Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground turkey
• 250 grams lean ground pork
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1.25 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 package natural hog casings

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the natural hog casings thoroughly in cold water to remove any salt. Soak them in fresh water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sausage mix.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey and lean ground pork together, mixing well with clean hands or a sturdy spoon.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the meat mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and sea salt over the meat.

Step 5

Pour in red wine vinegar and olive oil, mixing until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 6

Add the chopped fresh parsley and mix lightly to incorporate.

Step 7

Rinse the hog casings once more and fit one end over a sausage stuffer or funnel, allowing any excess water to escape.

Step 8

Fill the funnel with the meat mixture and gradually feed it into the casings, twisting into links of your desired length as you go.

Step 9

Prick any air bubbles with a sterilized needle to allow steam to escape while cooking.

Step 10

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely browned, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).

Step 12

Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite accompaniments.
