Ours is 33 years old, and built like a tank. I also knead bread dough in large batches, and it just keeps goin'.
I got thinking about it last night and figure dad's must be at least 40 years old. I never heard him complain about lack of power or overheating and he used to work it hard.

The Kitchen Aid I referenced earlier is a newer model.
Maybe this is why it doesnt do the job.

Chicken Spinach Feta Sausage

5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs  (Takes about 7-1/2 to 8 lbs. bone-in)

Two 10 ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed- press out excess water

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup powdered milk

2 TBL dried marjoram

2 TBL black pepper

2 TBL minced fresh garlic

2 TBL paprika

1 TBL salt

1 TBL onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne ( I use 1 tsp)

5 tsp white wine

     Cut chicken into chunks that will fit in your grinder, and freeze partially. Grind on a small plate. Mix in remaining ingredients thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight, and stuff into casings or shape patties. I grind the spinach and feta in with the chicken as the cheap spinach I buy is kind of 'chunky'. We enjoy the patties with cooked onions and peppers and cheese on a nice bun. You want to oil the pan or grill, as there is no added fat in the sausage.

Have you ever put this into casings?

I just picked up the thighs for this recipe so looks like this weekend I'll be making it.

We have the professional grade one. Second set of gears are going into it. BUT she does ALOT of bread in hers. Bread is hard on the gears. If I see an older one,I will buy the DanG thing fast. Even if the gears are gone.  :D

Yes, I usually stuff sausage, but I was out of casings the last time I made it. Which reminds me- I still haven't ordered any!
I hope my ship comes in before the dock rots!

This Forum clearly shows the multitude of skills and talents, knowledge and passion in so many different arenas.  I don't know if it exists,  BUT, if it doesn't...Jeff might think about taking all these different recipes from so many different "styles..tastes" and put together a Forestry Forum Cook Book.  Next thing ya know you'll be seeing Jeff on the "Cooking network"..or HSN selling the book and proceeds going toward the Forum.

Under the Header in Extras, then Knowledge Base You'll find some gems in there.  There's a link for food. :)

Saturday was sausage making day!!

SCGargoyle Johns Chicken Spinach, Feta sausage.

I bought 3 packs of thighs @ .99 lb totaling 17 lbs When de-skinned and boned I ended up with 8 lbs. There was excessive skin left on by the grocery store bringing up the poundage so they make more $$. So basically they were about $2.00 lb due to waste.

First time with my new Turbo-force 3000 grinder. I have to say it works great compared to the kitchen aide.

So here it is!


 

I covered it with parchment paper and let set in fridge over night before freezing.

Of course I had to try some so last night I whipped up some angel hair in butter and garlic topped with tomato, peach brushetta and fresh Italian bread.


 

DELISH!

It looks great. I would have to substitute the pasta with zucchini noodles and no bread for me.

I would of put the sausage between the bread and asked for more.  ;D That looks good.

We had two batches of venison sausage left in the freezer so yesterday we ground mixed and stuffed a batch. Been in the smoke house for two hours now. Should be enjoying some around three .

It looks like we are getting 2 hogs from the Amish in November. I'm going to have them grind and mix my spices in the sausage that we get out of 1 of them. They generally run 250-280 on the hoof.

We'll get chops and pork steaks then grind everything else.

I'm on the lookout for a pressure stuffer now.

FF cookbook?
Good idea.
My wife can add it to her collection of 30 to 40 cookbooks.
Now if only she would use them.

What kind of sausage are you doing ? I am interested in your smokehouse, could you send photos ?

Bricklayer51

It is venison my smokehouse is 8 inch concrete block inside 4ftx4ft by 6ft high laid on a 14inch thick pad with steel roof. I will see if my buddy can put some pictures on here when he gets back from boston.

Just got a new stuffer, a lem hand crank. It's amazing how much better it works than my old one. Another thing learned on the FF
