Chicken And Apple Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Crumble chicken over the mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 3-in. patties. , In a large, greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook patties over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes on each side. Drain if necessary.

Steps:

• In a small nonreactive saucepan, boil down the cider almost to a syrup, about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Cool and reserve.
• If using chicken thighs, coarsely grind the boned chicken and skin or chop coarsely in batches in a food processor. Add the apple cider and the remaining ingredients to the ground chicken in a large bowl or plastic tub and blend thoroughly with your hands. Fry a small patty until done and taste for salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
• Divide sausage into 7 or 8 portions (each about 1/2 pound), wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate or freeze for later use. Or, if desired, stuff the sausage into casings.

Steps:

• Sear the sausages in the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the internal temperature is 150 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add more oil if the pan is dry. Add the onions and salt to taste and cook the onions until translucent and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the skillet with the vinegar, scraping the bottom to get all the brown bits (fond), which equals flavor. Add the cabbage and apples and stir to combine. Let it cook down a bit, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and sugar and cook until the cabbage and apples start to soften, another 5 minutes. Return the sausages and any juices that have collected to the skillet. Cover and cook to heat through. Sprinkle in some sage and cook until the internal temperature of the sausages is 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with additional sage. Adjust the salt if needed, then serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

Steps:

• Combine butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
