Chicken Apple Sausage Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a work surface. Separate into 4 rectangles made up of 2 triangles each; press the triangles together at the perforations. Brush lightly with some of the beaten egg. Sprinkle the cheese over the dough rectangles and press lightly to adhere.
• Place a sausage along a short end of one dough rectangle and roll up tightly, pressing the dough around the sausage to eliminate any gaps. Pinch the seam to seal. Repeat with the remaining sausages and dough rectangles. Using a serrated knife, cut each dough-wrapped sausage into 4 pieces.
• Place the pieces seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the dough with more beaten egg. Bake until the dough is puffed and browned and the sausages are heated through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with honey mustard for dipping.

Steps:

• Par-freeze meat for 30 minutes. Have a meat grinder and stuffing attachments ready and assembled.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, ginger and granulated onion so they will evenly disperse when adding to the ground meat. Slice the meat into 1-inch cubes. Grind the meat and apples together using the coarse disc on your grinder.
• In a large bowl, combine meat and apple mixture with the seasonings. Using your hands, mix the meat and seasonings well. This process may take a few minutes to get the seasonings well dispersed. Stuff the forcemeat firmly into the casings. Twist the finished sausage into 6-inch links.
• Poach the sausages in in 160 degree F water for 20 minutes. Cooked sausages keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

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:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onions and cook slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally until soft and golden, about 40 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Spread onion mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
• Arrange sausage slices over onions and sprinkle with cheese and walnuts.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
