I was looking to make a lighter version of chorizo with a strong garlic flavor. The original recipe calls for ground pork and not having in I used turkey and made a few additional changes and the result was very good. The Ancho chile will not add alot of heat. It adds a nice rich flavor. The heat can be adjusted to your liking by increasing the red pepper flakes.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4-1 teaspoon dried mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more depending how hot you want the sausage.)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, throughly mix the turkey with the spices; mix in the vinegar.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
3. Next morning form the mixture into patties and pan fry in a small amount of oil, crumble into your favorite dish or freeze for later use.
