Smoked NY-Style White Sausage (sausage prep final)
So I decided to make white sausage using what I assume was salted natural pork casing for this TD. Using a combination of pork fat, beef, and chicken, I proceeded to make what would later become my sausages for smoking. Cherry wood was used in this instance. After the sausages had spent some time on the grill, they were de-cased and rolled in melted butter. Bread crumbs were added, and then the sausages were browned in the skillet. After this, the sausages were combined with other ingredients to make a sausage, wild rice, and broccoli casserole ect.

To prepare sausages:
1. Prepare meats separately and cut them into small pieces.
2. Using a hand grinder, grind out all meats and fat into separate piles. About a hand full each or so.
3. Heat one cup heavy cream in a small pan. Crumble up about one half cup of white bread and add to bowl with heavy cream. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in a small amount of nutmeg, coriander, salt, cayenne pepper, and white pepper. Chop up a small bit of parsley and chives. Add these to the bowl.
5. Add small amounts of the meat you ground earlier to a blender. Do this a better way if you don’t want to burn out your blender motor. I think I might have.
6. Add about a third of the bread mixture to the blender at a time.
7. Remove mixture from blender and add to bowl. Then add one whole egg and two egg whites and mix well.
8. At this point you are ready to stuff casings, so run some warm water through the casing to get rid of the salt. Stuff as you desire and tie ends with string. Check for holes.
9. Refrigerate sausages for a few hours until ready to smoke them. Poke pin holes in sausages for air release.
10. With a heat controlled grill, smoke sausages with cherry wood for about two hours.
11. When done, remove from grill.
12. Using a sharp knife carefully cut off the sausage casing.
13. Melt some butter and roll de-cased sausage in them. Roll sausages in bread crumbs, and then brown the sausages in a skillet on medium heat.
14. Set sausages aside until ready.
