Homemade Chicken Apple Sausage
My Homemade Chicken Apple Sausage recipe is an easy way to make your own fabulously fresh sausage right at home, and it freezes beautifully, too.
Servings: 10 sausage patties
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 Granny Smith apple, or other tart, firm variety very finely diced
- 1/2 medium onion, very finely diced
- 1/4 cup finely minced fresh sage
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Put the ground chicken into the bowl of a stand mixer, breaking it apart as you add it. You can also do all this by hand in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil, and mix until everything is well combined, and the little chunks of apple and onion are evenly distributed.
- Form the meat mixture into small 1 inch balls. I use a 1 inch scoop to portion out the meat and then roll it in my hands. Place all the balls on a baking sheet and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and brown the sausage patties for 2 minutes on each side. Then lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for another 7-10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through. The internal temperature of the sausage should be 165°F.
Notes
- I used packaged ground chicken for this recipe, but you can also grind your own with a meat grinder or a food processor. You could try boneless thighs for extra flavor.
- If this recipe seems a bit too lean for you, you can also finely chop some bacon (raw) and add it to the mix.
