Making your own you can control the heat and the FAT. I have mixed with ground turkey and it was also good. About half and half..

Ingredients:

5 pounds pork shoulder (have butcher grind)

2 tablespoon minced garlic

1 cup cold water

2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

2 tablespoon fennel seeds(i grind in old coffee grinder)

1/2 cup grated romano cheese

1/2 cup chopped italian flat leafed parsley

2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes. (leave out for sweet sausage)

Directions:

1. Have butcher grind a mix of 80 percent lean to 20 percent fat. I like it a little leaner, but if you go to lean it does not taste as good.
2. Mix all in a HUGE bowl. That's it!
3. Package to freeze your sausage. It will keep in frig for about 5 days. It is best if you let it sit over night for the flavors to mellow before cooking.
4. ENJOY
